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?

IR Since Mr Robinson is evidently a geometrically curious fourth line of a triangle, and the hypotenuse at that, please clarify which of the three esteemed ministers he is lying alongside (no innuendo please), and what are the policies or characteristics of the other two that have resulted in them lying at right angles to each other.
