Answer:
AH = 1 or 4
CH = 4 or 1
Step-by-step explanation:
An altitude divides a right triangle into similar triangles. That means the sides are in proportion, so ...
AH/BH = BH/CH
AH·CH = BH²
The problem statement tells us AH + CH = AC = 5, so we can write
AH·(5 -AH) = BH²
AH·(5 -AH) = 2² = 4
This gives us the quadratic ...
AH² -5AH +4 = 0 . . . . in standard form
(AH -4)(AH -1) = 0 . . . . factored
This equation has solutions AH = 1 or 4, the values of AH that make the factors be zero. Then CH = 5-AH = 4 or 1.

Answer:
4 11/16 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a rectangle = Length × Width
From the question:
Length = 1 1/4 m
Width = 3 3/4m
Area of the rectangle =
1 1/4 m × 3 3/4 m
= 5/4 m × 15/4 m
= 75/16 m²
= 4 11/16 m²
Area of the rectangle = 4 11/16 m²
