The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean between the segments on the hypotenuse a. always b. sometimes c. never

Option: A is the correct answer.

     A.   always

Right Triangle Altitude Theorem--

It states that when an altitude is drawn from the the vertex containing the right angle to the opposite side i.e. hypotenuse then the length of the altitude is the geometric means between the segments on the hypotenuse.

i.e. if we consider a right angled triangle ΔCAB with right angle at A.

Then if  a altitude AD is drawn from vertex A then we have:

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
