    This document contains information about using similar triangles and special right triangles in geometry. It includes theorems about right triangles where an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse, forming two similar triangles. It also discusses the geometric mean theorem as it relates to right triangles. Finally, it provides properties of 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 right triangles, such as relationships between side lengths. Examples are worked through applying these triangle theorems and properties to find missing side lengths.

    Theorem
    Theorem 7.6 Geometric Mean (Altitude) Theorem
    In a right triangle, the altitude from the right angle to the hypotenuse
    divides the hypotenuse into two segments.
    The lengths of the altitude is the geometric mean of the lengths
    of the two segments.

    7.3

    Theorem
    Theorem 7.7 Geometric Mean (Leg) Theorem
    In a right triangle, the altitude from the right angle to the hypotenuse
    divides the hypotenuse into two segments.
    The length of each leg of the triangle is the geometric mean of the
    lengths of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse
    that is adjacent to the leg.
