To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the hypotenuse, the perpendicular, and the angles in a right-angled triangle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Triangle**: Let's denote the right-angled triangle as ABC, where angle C is the right angle. Let D be the foot of the perpendicular from vertex B to side AC. According to the problem, the hypotenuse AB is four times the length of the perpendicular BD. 2. **Assigning Lengths**: ...
