Consider a right triangle with an inscribed circle. Let x and y be the lengths of the two line segments formed on the hypotenuse by the point of tangency with the circle. What interesting fact can you prove about x*y?
let A and B be the side of the triangle. If x segment has common vertix with A then
x/y = A^2/B^2.
The ratio of x and y is sqaure of the ration between A and B.
