Similarity in Right Triangles Тheorem 62 What is the Geometric Mean of 8 and 12? Similarity in Right Triangles Theorem 82 If an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then The two triangles formed are similar to the given triangle and to each other. The altitude to the hypotenuse is the geometric mean between the segments of the hypotenuse. Each leg of the given triangle is the geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to that leg. Algebra Find the geometric mean of each pair of numbers: 2 and 16 x² = 2 * 16 x = √32 x = 4√2 3 and 27 x² = 3 * 27 x = √81 x = 9 5 and 60 x² = 5 * 60 x = √300 x = 10√3
