The Geometric Mean
“x” is the geometric mean between “a” and “b” if:
a
x b
x
or x ab
x2 = ab
√x2 = √ab
x = +/- √abTake Notice: The term said to be the
geometric mean will always be cross-multiplied w/ itself.
Take Notice: In a geometric mean problem, there are only 3 variables to account for, instead of four.

• When you have a right triangle you always have a 90◦ angle and 2 acute angles
• Based on the measurements of those acute angles you can discover the lengths of the sides of the right triangle
• Mathematicians have discovered ratios that exist for every degree from 1 to 89.
• The ratios exist, no matter what size the triangle

So which one do I use?
• Sin
• Cos
• Tan
Label your sides and see which ratio you can use. Sometimes you can use more than one, so just choose one.
