4.10 Proportional Segments in Right Triangles
Theorem 61
It in a right triangle the perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of
the right angle to the hypotenuse:
1. The two triangles thus formed are similar to the given tri-
angle and to each other.
II. The perpendicular is the mean proportional between the
segments of the hypotenuse.
II. Each leg of the given triangle is the mean proportional
between the hypotenuse and the adjacent segment of the
hypotenuse.
Given: Right AABC, and CD the I from C to the
hypotenuse AB
Prove: I. AACD ~ AABC ~ ACBD
II. AD : CD = CD : DB –
