Vocabulary geometric mean

The geometric mean of two positive numbers is the positive square root of their product. Consider the proportion . In this case, the means of the proportion are the same number, and that number (x) is the geometric mean of the extremes.

Example 1A: Finding Geometric Means Find the geometric mean of each pair of numbers. If necessary, give the answer in simplest radical form. 4 and 9 Let x be the geometric mean. Def. of geometric mean Cross multiply x = 6 Find the positive square root.

Example 1b: Finding Geometric Means Find the geometric mean of each pair of numbers. If necessary, give the answer in simplest radical form. 6 and 15 Let x be the geometric mean. Def. of geometric mean Cross multiply Find the positive square root.

Example 1c: Finding Geometric Means Find the geometric mean of each pair of numbers. If necessary, give the answer in simplest radical form. 2 and 8 Let x be the geometric mean. Def. of geometric mean Cross multiply Find the positive square root.

In a right triangle, an altitude drawn from the vertex of the right angle to the hypotenuse forms two right triangles.

Once you’ve found the unknown side lengths, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to check your answers. Helpful Hint It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Example
