We know that a geometric progression is a sequence in which the ratio of a term to its preceding term is a constant number r .Now in the right triangle we know that △ A B C ∼ △ A H B from this we have B C A B = A B B H = r
So we have that B C , B A , B H is a geometric progression and the first sentence is correct.
Now in the second sentence we know that △ A H C ∼ △ B H A ⟹ B H A H = A H C H = d
So B H , A H , C H is a geometric progression and the second sentence is wrong
