What is the value of x if $$\frac{3}{x} = \frac{x}{4}$$ ?

Cross-multiplying gives: $$3 \times 4 = x^2$$ , thus $$x^2 = 12$$ , so $$x = 2\text{√}3$$ .

What is the formula for the area of a right triangle?

The area of a right triangle can be calculated using the formula: $$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$$ .

If the lengths of the sides of a triangle are 5, 12, and 13, does it form a right triangle?

Yes, because $$5^2 + 12^2 = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13^2$$ .

What is the geometric mean of 4 and 16?

The geometric mean is calculated as: $$\text{Geometric Mean} = \text{√}(4 \times 16) = \text{√}(64) = 8$$ .

What is the value of b if the altitude of a triangle is $$6\text{√}3$$ ?

If the altitude is $$6\text{√}3$$ , then the area can be calculated using the base and height.

What is the significance of the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle and is opposite the right angle.

How do you find the length of a missing side in a right triangle?

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: if you know two sides, you can find the third side using $$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$$ .

What is the relationship between the geometric mean and the Pythagorean theorem?

The geometric mean can be used in right triangles to find the altitude to the hypotenuse, which relates to the Pythagorean theorem.

What is the value of x if $$\frac{a}{x} = \frac{x}{b}$$ ?

Cross-multiplying gives: $$a \times b = x^2$$ , thus $$x = \text{√}(a \times b)$$ .
