Using the geometric mean concept, it is found that the value of a is 18.
----------------------
The geometric mean, of a data-set of n elements,
, is given by:
![G = \sqrt[n]{n_1 \times n_2 \times ... \times n_n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=G%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bn_1%20%5Ctimes%20n_2%20%5Ctimes%20...%20%5Ctimes%20n_n%7D)
That is, the nth root of the multiplication of all elements.
----------------------
In this question:
- Two elements(n = 2), a and 34.

Thus:

We find the square of each side, so:


Simplifying both sides by 17:



The value of a is 18.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
i hope you will get the answer
Pedro had 1482 hits and Riley had 1200 hits.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of base hits = 2682
Let,
Number of Pedro's hits = x
Number of Riley's hits = y
According to given statement;
x+y=2682 Eqn 1
x = y+282 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 2

Putting y=1200 in Eqn 2

Pedro had 1482 hits and Riley had 1200 hits.
