Answer to Problem 8CUR
False
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Altitude to hypotenuse of a right
Geometric mean of two numbers
The given statement can be plotted as the image shown below:
As per altitude geometric mean theorem, the altitude to hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the geometric mean of the segments of hypotenuse divided by the altitude to hypotenuse.
i.e.
Therefore, the given statement is false.
