Geometric MeanIf a, b and x are positive numbers and
ax
x=bmean
mean
Multiplying means/extremes we find that:
then x is called the geometric mean between a and b.
2x =abTaking the square root of each side: abx=
A positive number

Geometric Mean• Basically, to find the geometric mean of 2 numbers,
multiply them and take the square root. OR (add to notes: take the square root of each, then multiply try to find the geometric mean between 4 and 9 and the geometric mean between 36 and 50)
• Note that the geometric mean always falls between the 2 numbers.
abx=
Ex: Find the geometric mean between 5 and 11.
Use the formula
5 11 = 55

Geometric Mean

abx=Ex: Find the geometric mean between the two numbers.
Avoid multiplying large numbers together. Break numbers into perfect square factors to simplify.

∆ Review
• Altitude the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side
Hypotenuse the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle

Theorem
If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and to each other.

Corollaries
When the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle:
the length of the altitude is the geometric mean between the segments of the hypotenuse.
Each leg is the geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to that leg.
