Answer:
a = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric mean of 2 numbers a and b is [tex]\sqrt{ab}[/tex] , then
[tex]\sqrt{28a}[/tex] = 16[tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] ( square both sides )
28a = (16[tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] )² = 1792 ( divide both sides by 28 )
a = 64
Answer:
a = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric mean for two numbers is given by :
GM = sqrt(ab)
16 sqrt(7) = sqrt(a*28)
Square each side
(16 sqrt(7))^2 = (sqrt(a*28))^2
256*7 = 28a
1792 = 28a
Divide each side by 28
1792/28 = 28a/28
64 = a
