Problem: Represent the hypotenuse of a right triangle by ccc and the area by AAA. The altitude on the hypotenuse is:
Answer Choices:
A. AC\dfrac{A}{C}CA
B. 2Ac\dfrac{2 A}{c}c2A
C. A2c\dfrac{A}{2 c}2cA
D. A2c\dfrac{A^{2}}{c}cA2
E. Ac2\dfrac{A}{c^{2}}c2A Solution:
Since 12hc=A,h=2A/c\dfrac{1}{2} h c=A, h=2 A / c21hc=A,h=2A/c.
