Therefore, a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 10 can have an altitude on its hypotenuse of at most 5.

于是，斜边为10的直角三角形斜边上的高必须小于等于5，也就是说，面试官所说的直角三角形根本不存在。

Interviewer: Ok, so one last question. A right triangle has a hypotenuse equal to 10 and an altitude to the hypotenuse equal to 6.

一位计算机系的毕业生接受微软的面试，面试官给出最后一个问题：“已知一个直角三角形的斜边为10，斜边上的高为6，请问这个三角形的面积是多少？”

I want to compute the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

我想计算下,直角三角形的斜边。

In fact, the hypotenuse is a line between two angles, so what is wrong with a fourth person being the hypotenuse between two of the three people who are presumably at the points of the triangle?
