Geometry NOTES Date: ________ Lesson 7-4: Geometric Mean Arithmetic Mean Add the numbers Divide by the total number of numbers Ex: find the mean between 3 and 5 vs. Geometric Mean * If “a” and “b” are positive numbers, then “g” is the geometric mean if a g g b Ex: find the geometric mean between 3 and 5. Corollary #1: IF the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the ALTITUDE is the geometric mean between the two segments of the hypotenuse. 1st piece of hypotenuse altitude altitude 2nd piece of hypotenuse Solve for x: 6. 7. 9. If CD = 4, and AD = 2, find DB. 11. If CD = 8, and AD = DB, find AB. 8. 10. If AD = 5, AB = 17, find CD. Corollary #2: If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, then the LEG is the geometric mean between the entire hypotenuse and the piece of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to the leg. entire hypotenuse leg leg piece of hypotenuse Solve for x: 12. 13. 14. 15. Use both corollaries to solve for x and y: 16. 18. HOMEWORK: Practice Worksheet 7.4 A 17.
