Answer:

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle forms two triangles that are similar to each other and to the original triangle

The Leg Rule (or Leg geometric mean theorem) relates the length of each leg of a right triangle with the segments projected by them on the hypotenuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the segments into which it divides the hypotenuse. Notice the triangle used with this rule. The leg of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the projection of the leg on the hypotenuse.

<u>L</u><u>a</u><u>w</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>f</u><u> </u><u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u>

$\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{ - n} = \frac{1}{ {a}^{n} } }$

Compare the terms.

$\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{ - n} = {( - 2)}^{ - 3} }$

Therefore, a = -2 and n = 3. From the law of exponent above, we receive:

$\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = \frac{1}{ {( - 2)}^{ 3} } }$

<u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>.</u> (For cubic)

$\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{3} = a \times a \times a }$

Factor (-2)^3 out.

$\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = \frac{1}{( - 2) \times ( - 2) \times ( - 2)}}$

(-2) • (-2) = 4 | Negative × Negative = Positive.

$\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = \frac{1}{4 \times ( - 2)}}$

4 • (-2) = -8 | Negative Multiply Positive = Negative.

$\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = \frac{1}{ - 8}}$

If either denominator or numerator is in negative, it is the best to write in the middle or between numerator and denominators.

Hence,

$\displaystyle \large \boxed{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = - \frac{1}{ 8}}$

The answer is - 1 / 8
