Answer:

Geometric mean of 2 numbers is a square root of the product.

Given 8,10

Geometric mean = √(8*10)

=√80

= √(16*5)

= 4√5

If the smaller number is x, then the larger number has to be 20 - x in order for the arithmetic mean to be 10, as their sum must be 20.

If the geometric mean is 8 the product of the numbers has to be 64 and so the larger number is 64/x

Solving 64/x = 20 - x gives the quadratic x^2 -20x +64 = 0 so x = 4 or 16.

The two numbers are 4 and 16.

Chord because the radius is the center of the circle to a side and diameter is the length across a circle through the center point so chord is the correct answer! I hope this helps! :)

Meaning of cube root

Answer:

The cube root of a number is a special value that, when used in a multiplication three times, gives that number. Example: 3 × 3 × 3 = 27, so the cube root of 27 is 3. See: Square Root. Cubes and Cube Roots.
