The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments with lengths in the ratio 1: 2. the length of the altitude is 8. how long is the hypotenuse

The hypotenuse is 17.1 inches long

Given that the scale ratio is 1 : 2.

This means that:

Segment 1 : Segment 2 = 1 : 2

This gives

Segment 1 : Segment 2 = x : 2x

By comparison,

Segment 1 = x

Segment = 2x

Using the Altitude rule, x is then calculated as:

Substitute known values

Cross multiply

Divide through by 2

Take the square root of both sides

The length of the hypotenuse (h) is then calculated as:

Hence, the hypotenuse is 17.1 inches long

yes, i heard the "tea" with james charles and a few other beauty gurus. i believe charles is in the wrong and i believe tati the most. tati didn't lie about james charles but may have exaggerated because he never sexually assaulted anyone. jeffery star is a really good friend to all and out anyone that needs it, until you mess with one of his "sisters"! james will never rise over jeffery or tati, he's way to sensitive and dramatic to rise about them. i think all three of them will make up and be friends again because they always get over it.

i hope this with your

to be honest i don't know but i need points so
