Baby let’s just draw if you wanna, rotate if you wanna

Sige alamin, alamin, alamin mo


That’s Math, you should wanna, solve what you’ve gotta
Sa triangle tayo tumingin
Shawty, why you're so tired?
Did you know Math is so easy?
Solve it baby, taas hanggang baba, huh?
Alam ko namang palaban ka talaga, huh?
Hindi natin titigilan hanggang umaga

Right Triangle Similarity Theorem

If the altitude of a right triangle is drawn to the


hypotenuse, then the two triangles formed are similar
with each other and to the original right triangle.

Theorem
Geometric Means Theorem

In a right triangle, the altitude drawn from the vertex of


the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse
in two segments:
Geometric Means Theorem

1.The length of the altitude is the geometric mean of the


lengths of the two segments.
