A₆ =12
a₇ = ?? = x
a₈ 27
In this case x is the geometric mean & as per the formula
geometric mean of 2 numbers =√(a₆ * a₈) = √(12*27)
& x=18.
Proof:
Find the common ratio between a₇ & a₆ ==> = ( x) / 12
now find the common ration between a₈ & a₇ ===> =27 / (x)
x/12 = 27/x ===> x² = 12*27 ==> x² = 324 & x =√324 = 18
search it up than you will get the correct answer
the formula for the Pythagorean theorem is a squared plus b squared is equals to c squared we don't have our a so it will be 8 * 8 =64which is 64 is equals to 10 * 10 which is 100 - 64 is equals to 36 then you square root do square roots the 36 which is 6
