9. Find the length of the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse.
Triangle 1 is a right triangle with an adjacent of 4
Triangle 2 is a right triangle with an adjacent of 14
Answer Choices:
28
7.5
14

To find the length of the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you can use the formula: altitude = (leg1 * leg2) / hypotenuse
For Triangle 1:
altitude = (4 * 4) / 5 = 16 / 5 = 3.2
For Triangle 2:
altitude = (14 * 14) / 15 = 196 / 15 = 13.07
Therefore, the length of the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse for Triangle 1 is 3.2 and for Triangle 2 is 13.07. None of the answer choices provided matches these results.
