Best Answer

draw a perpendicular from the vertex of the right angle to the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse now has 2 parts, the longer is d, the shorter is e.

the mean is m ( the perpendicular you just drew)

e/m =

m/d

Does the mean of triangle bisect the area of triangle?

The answer depends on what you mean by "mean of triangle". There is no such geometric term.


Can a form be geometric?

That all depends on what you mean by "form". If you are referring to "shape", then yes it can be geometric. For instance, a triangle is geometric.


What if the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean between the segments on the hypotenuse?

Always true. To see this draw the circle which passes through the three points of the triangle. Reproduce the reflection of the triangle on the hypotenuse (which passes through the centre). Then use the theorem of intersecting chords of a circle to give the result immediately. It's also simply proved by algebra.


How to find the attitude of a triangle?

If you mean "altitude", and by that you mean the height of the top of the triangle above its base, then draw a line from the top of the triangle to the base, at right angles to the base, and measure that line. Alternately, the height of a triangle above its base is twice the area divided by the base length.


If a triangle has only 1 acute angle what type of triangle is it?

If you mean 1 acute interior angle, then it's a logical and geometric impossibility.A triangle can't have only one acute interior angle.


What is the application of geometric mean in medicine?

The geometric mean can be used in medicine, to determine renal function. Studying the left and right kidneys will allow a doctor to figure out how they are functioning, and the geometric mean will tell the percentage of error of the posterior view is not used.

What kind of triangle has the measure 45 45 and 90?

If you mean angles then it is a right angle triangle or an isosceles right angle triangle


What is a geometric property?

1.The Geometric mean is less then the arithmetic mean. GEOMETRIC MEAN < ARITHMETIC MEAN 2.


What side is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

I am guessing you mean a right angled triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest side on a right angled triangle. So it is the side facing / parallel to the right angle.
