Question 1021936: I need help with a proof that states :
Given right triangle RST, angle S as the right angle, RS perpendicular to ST, SW perpendicular to RT as an altitude.
PROVE: (ST)^2 = (TW)(TR) Found 2 solutions by robertb, ikleyn:Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! According to your specifications, triangle STW would be similar to RTS, and hence corresponding sides would be proportional. It follows then that
.
After cross-multiplication, the equation would be .
