what's the source of this question; it seems not very clear in text and statements
st(1) says AB=6 Not Sufficient
the question itself says the points are distinct so the only way height BD is drawn towards the hypotenuse AC by creating two more right triangles ABD and CBD, subsequently four more non-hypotenuse sides. St(2) says the product (*) of the non-hypotenuse sides is equal to 24?? That is the product of six sides is 24?
please reveal the source
