These are the steps to find the geometric mean of 4 and 9. Once you get good at these, there are just two steps (multiply the two numbers together, then take the square root). When you solve a quadratic equation and square root both sides, in algebra you technically should get a positive or a negative answer. However, in geometry, the geometric mean MUST BE POSITIVE, so the only answer here is ___.

• -6

• 6

• 36

• 9
