Question

What is the geometric mean of $32$ and $2$?

Answer 1

Finding the geometric mean of $32$ and $2$

The geometric mean of two numbers $a$ and $b$ is calculated as,

$GM=\sqrt{ab}$

Therefore

$GM=\sqrt{32\times 2}$

$\Rightarrow GM=\sqrt{64}$

$\Rightarrow GM=8$

Hence, $8$ is the geometric mean of $32$ and $2$.
