a) Có CT \(AB^2+AC^2=BC^2\Rightarrow BC=\sqrt{AB^2+AC^2}=\sqrt{36+81}=3\sqrt{13}\left(cm\right)\)
\(\frac{1}{AH^2}=\frac{1}{AC^2}+\frac{1}{AB^2}\Rightarrow\frac{1}{AH}=\frac{\sqrt{13}}{18}\Rightarrow AH=\frac{18\sqrt{13}}{13}\left(cm\right)\)
\(AC^2=HC.BC\Rightarrow HC=\frac{AC^2}{BC}=\frac{81}{3\sqrt{13}}=\frac{27\sqrt{13}}{13}\left(cm\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow HB=BC-HC=3\sqrt{13}-\frac{27\sqrt{13}}{13}=\frac{12\sqrt{13}}{13}\)
b) Theo bài ra
Áp dụng định lý Pytago
\(AB^2=AH^2+HB^2\Rightarrow AH=\sqrt{AB^2-HB^2}=\sqrt{225-81}=12\left(cm\right)\)
\(\frac{1}{AH^2}=\frac{1}{AB^2}+\frac{1}{AC^2}\Rightarrow\frac{1}{AC}=\frac{1}{20}\Rightarrow AC=20\left(cm\right)\)
Lại có \(AB^2+AC^2=BC^2\Rightarrow BC=\sqrt{AB^2+AC^2}=\sqrt{225+400}=25\left(cm\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow HC=BC-HB=25-9=16\left(cm\right)\)
