Geometric Mean: In a proportion,, b and c are called the “means” Proportions in which the means are = occur frequently in geometry. THE GEOMETRIC MEAN, x:

Find the Geometric Mean of the following numbers: 1.2 and and 4

Definition: ALTITUDE of a triangle The altitude is a segment from a vertex of a triangle that is perpendicular to the opposite side (or the line containing the opposite side).

In a right triangle, the altitude to the hypotenuse creates 3 similar triangles. B D A A C B BD C

Right Triangle Similarity HYPOTENUSE LEG B LEG A ALTITUDE D C PROPORTIONS WHERE ALTITUDE AND LEGS ARE GEOMETRIC MEANS:

The length of the altitude of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the 2 pieces (segments) of the hypotenuse ALTITUDE D C Example: Find x. x 12 3

Examples: Find x x x x

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle separates the hypotenuse so that the leg is geometric mean of length of adjacent piece of hypotenuse and the whole length of hypotenuse. LEG B LEG A ALTITUDE D C Example: Find x. x 4 16

Examples. Find the value of x x x x 36 60
