the two triangles formed by HJ are similar to the original triangle
... so the ratios of corresponding sides are the same
HK / JK = KI / HK
(HK) ^2 = 25 * 9
If IJ=16 and JK=9, what is the length of HK⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯?
The figure shows right triangle K H I with altitude H J to hypotenuse K I.
A. HK = 20
B. HK = 15
C. HK = 25
D. HK = 12
please help explain this to me thank you.
