Given:
The base of the given triangle has two part:
Left( left side of the hypotenuse) = 25
Right ( right side of the hypotenuse) = x
The altitude (h) = 60
To find the value of x.
Formula:
By Altitude rule we know that, the altitude of a triangle is mean proportional between the right and left part of the hypotenuse,
Now,
Putting,
left = 25, altitude = 60 and right = x we get,
or, [ by cross multiplication]
or,
or,
Hence,
The value of x is 144.
