Question

Which proportion satisfies the geometric mean (altitude) theorem for the triangle?

Answer 1

D is the correct answer 

Answer 2

D.
`(2)/(h)=(h)/(3)`

Explanation:

We have been given an image of a triangle. We are asked to choose the proportion that satisfies the geometric mean (altitude) theorem for the triangle.

The geometric mean (altitude) theorem states that altitude drawn from the right angle to hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments such that their product is equal to the altitude times altitude.

`(2)/(h)=(h)/(3)`

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
