Find the length of the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse with  sides labeled 22 and 4. Cut by and altitude

To find the length of the altitude if you're given the lengths of the sides that it's cutting you find the geometri mean of the two numbers, 22 and 4. 22/x = x/4    Cross multiply   88 =  x^2 Get the square root of each side of the equation to make the x^2 equal to x. sqrt(88) = sqrt(x^2)   sqrt(88) = x   2 * sqrt (22) = x ( altitude)
