Find the exact length of the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse. Do not round. The triangle is not drawn to scale.

A triangle with base measures of 9 & 17.
Draw a diagram. Using similar triangles, we know that
h/9 = 17/�ã370

I need more help with this. Thank you

the ratios given are equal because the angle involved is the same. opposite/hypotenuse is the same.
Thank you
