Step-by-step explanation:

with the height in a right triangle, we get 3 right triangles (the original one, and the 2 on both sides of the height). all 3 of these triangles are similar to each other.

that means (among other things) the ratios of 2 sides of one triangle must be the same ratio of the corresponding sides in the other triangle.

x/64 = 36/x

x² = 36×64

x = sqrt (36×64) = 6×8 = 48

long story short, x is the geometric mean value of the segments of the Hypotenuse.

geometric mean value means the nth root of the product of n numbers.

in our case - square root out of 2 numbers (the segment lengths).
