The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the segments into which it divides the hypotenuse ⇒<span>
</span>altitude = √(9*3) = √27
<span>By the Pythagorean theorem:
y = </span>√(9² + (√27)²) = √(81+27) = √108 = 6√3 ← answer
729 is 3 to the 5th power
3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 is 729
2x - 1 = 3x + 1
3x - 2x = -1 - 1
x = -2
y = 2(-2) - 1
y = -4 - 1
y = -5
answer
x = -2 and y = -5
