Geometric mean • The geometric mean of two positive numbers a and b is the positive number x such that • Find the geometric mean of 8 and 18.
Geometric Mean • Find the geometric mean of 5 and 20. • The geometric mean of x and 5 is 15. Find the value of x.
Different perspective of Geometric mean • The geometric mean of ‘a’ and ‘b’ is √ab • Therefore geometric mean of 4 and 9 is 6, since √(4)(9) = √36 = 6.

Ex. 3: Using a geometric mean • PAPER SIZES. International standard paper sizes are commonly used all over the world. The various sizes all have the same width-to-length ratios. Two sizes of paper are shown, called A4 and A3. The distance labeled x is the geometric mean of 210 mm and 420 mm. Find the value of x. Slide #26
Solution: The geometric mean of 210 and 420 is 210√2, or about 297mm. 210 x Write proportion = x 420 X2 = 210 ∙ 420 X = √210 ∙ 420 X = √210 ∙ 210 ∙ 2 X = 210√2 Cross product property Simplify Factor Simplify Slide #27

Ex. 4: Solving a proportion Width of Titanic Length of Titanic = Width of model Length of model LABELS: Width of Titanic = x Width of model ship = 11.25 in Length of Titanic = 882.75 feet Length of model ship = 107.5 in. Slide #29 MODEL BUILDING. A scale model of the Titanic is 107.5 inches long and 11.25 inches wide. The Titanic itself was 882.75 feet long. How wide was it?
Reasoning: Write the proportion. Substitute. Multiply each side by 11.25. Use a calculator. Width of Titanic Length of Titanic = Width of model Length of model x feet 882.75 feet = 11.25 in. 107.5 in. 11.25(882.75) x = 107.5 in. x ≈ 92.4 feet So, the Titanic was about 92.4 feet wide. Slide #30
Note: Slide #31 Notice that the proportion in this Example contains measurements that are not in the same units. When writing a proportion in unlike units, the numerators should have the same units and the denominators should have the same units. The inches (units) cross out when you cross multiply.
A model truck is 13.5 inches long and 7.5 inches wide. The original truck was 12 feet long. How wide was it?
Identifying Similar Polygons • When there is a correspondence between two polygons such that their corresponding angles are congruent and the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional the two polygons are called similar polygons.
