Remote learning got me watching these to do my assignments. Thx for making it so much easier

MR. Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank for another exceptional video/lecture on the basic Introduction to the Altitude on Hypotenuse Theorem. This topic is very practical, however all students should how to use the Geometric Mean to solve all the similar triangle problems.

[heyvsauce]

Thank you for this video, I was struggling with the first problem of finding the altitude until I came across this video, which helped me when no where else could, thank you

[eddieverdugo]

Ive been studying for my math placement exam and this one problem had be but this video literally helped me understand it in like 10 minutes. Thanks you !

[ComputerCurry]

Thanks for showing us so many useful formulas!

[albedofluffyboi]

I always watch your videos! Very helpful. :)) thanks a lot!

[parvinajamshidovna]

Amazing video! So helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your precious knowledge!))

[prideissue]

Ur videos turn out to be so helpful doing thm👍

Ommgg thank u huhuhu its our exam tomorrow ty;)

[theoyanto]

Very interesting method, I didn't know this method, so thanks Very much

[gamingsenpaitm]

Your Videos always help me with my lessons. Im bery grateful to you ❤️👑

[allykkim]

Thank you for posting these videos! You help me a lot!

Why is the geometric mean used? And why is the length of the altitude equal to the geometric mean of the whole triangle, but then in the later problems the hypotenuse of the larger right triangle is the geometric mean for the whole triangle?

whew! quite tough lesson but very rewarding and fun :D

[wendyy]

this is my problem...
1. If a = 9 and b = 3, find u.
2. If a = 15 and b = 12, find h.
3. If a = 21 and b =7, find t.
4. If b = 7 and a = 28, find t, h, u.
5. If b = 12 and UT = 36, find h, t, u.
s
u Δ T

[DuzshHarvan]

I was able to derive my own formula for solving each sides given h(altitude) and c(hypotenuse)

c = (a^2 ) / (a^2 - h^2)^.5
= (b^2) / (b^2 - h^2)^.5

Thanks this is really useful <333

I had question
What is geometric mean of √3 and √5

[ihavenoidea-cu]

is there just me who cant understand anything ?
