This document discusses properties of right triangles and similarity. It contains three main points: 1) The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle separates it into two smaller right triangles that are all similar to each other. 2) The altitude is the geometric mean of the hypotenuse segments and each leg is the geometric mean of its adjacent hypotenuse segment and the hypotenuse. 3) Examples demonstrate using proportions to solve for missing side lengths in similar right triangles. Exercises provide additional practice applying the concepts.
