Question

What is the answer!!!!!! Plz help me

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the geometric mean theorem:

The altitude on the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the two segments it creates.

In your triangle, the two segments are MP and PO.

MP + PO = MO

  MP + 3 = 15

        MP = 12

Then,

$h = \sqrt{12 \times 3} = \sqrt{36} = \mathbf{6}\\\text{The altitude of the triangle is }\boxed{\textbf{6}}$
