Exploring and Defining Geometric Mean (Leg)

Applet allows for the student to readily discover or meaningfully recall that when the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, it splits that triangle into 2 smaller triangles that are similar to the original triangle and to each other. The AA~ reasoning is visually manifested within this applet. A transformational geometry approach is used here
