Right Triangle Similarity Theorem (RTST)
If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles formed
are similar to the original triangle and to each other.
Special Properties of Right Triangles
When the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle,
1. the length of the altitude is the geometric mean between the segments of the
hypotenuse; and
2. each leg is the geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the segment of the
hypotenuse that is adjacent to the leg.
