What is the geometric mean of the measures of the line segments A Dand DC? Show your work.

The geometric mean of the measures of the line segments AD and DC is  60/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric mean: BD² = AD×DC

BD = √(AD×DC)

hypotenuse/leg = leg/part

ΔADB: AC/12 = 12/AD

AC×AD = 12×12 = 144

AD = 144/AC

ΔBDC: AC/5 = 5/DC

AC×DC = 5×5 = 25

DC = 25/AC

BD = √[(144/AC)(25/AC)]

BD = (12×5)/AC

BD= 60/AC

Apply Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC

AC² = 12² + 5²

AC² = 144+ 25 = 169

AC = √169 = 13

BD = 60/13

The geometric mean of the measures of the line segments AD and DC is BD = 60/13
