I can’t determine which choice is correct from the information given — the problem statement is missing the side lengths or the diagram. Please post the diagram or the lengths of the triangle’s sides.
How to solve once you give the missing values:
- If the right angle is at U and O is the foot of the altitude on hypotenuse TV, first find the hypotenuse TV by Pythagorean theorem: TV = sqrt(UT^2 + UV^2) (if needed).
- Use the similar-triangle relation UV^2 = TV · VO, so
VO = UV^2 / TV.
(Equivalently UT^2 = TV · TO, and OU^2 = TO · VO.)
Give the side lengths (or an image) and I’ll compute VO and pick the correct multiple-choice answer.
