Samples:
1) Find the geometric mean of 180 and 5.
2) Find the geometric mean of 48 and 3.
5) Find the length of the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse.
9) The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments of length a and b. Describe how to find the area of the triangle in terms of a and b.
10) The ratio of the segments into which the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse is 9 : 4. What is the length of the altitud
