If distinct points A, B, C , and D form a right triangle ABC with a height BD , what is the value of AB times BC ?

1) AB=6
2) The product of the non-hypotenuse sides is equal to 24

Hey Uptown girl !
I think the answer is B.

First of all, i didn't really understand what is the use of height BD, but i think problem stated this point in order to make us understand what is the right angle.
So, B - is the right angle and D is the point on hypotenuse.
1) We know only the measurement of 1 leg of a right triangle. Insufficient
2) Given that non-hypotenuse-sides product is 24. I think that is the value we need to find. So sufficient.
What is the OA?
