Question

Find the missing length indicated.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the geometric mean because it is a part of both the small triangle on the left (with base 81) and the whole triangle (with base 225). Setting up the geometric means formula:

$\frac{81}{x}=\frac{x}{225}$ and cross multiply to get

$x^2 =18225$ so

x = $\sqrt{18225}$ and

x = 135
