when running a line, in a right-triangle, from the 90° angle perpendicular to its opposite side, we will end up with three similar triangles, one Small, one Medium and a containing Large one. Check the picture below.


\cfrac{x}{13}~~ = ~~\cfrac{11}{x}\implies x^2=(13)(11)\implies x^2=143\implies x=√(143)
