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.

Prove that a triangle with the sides (a − 1) cm, 2√a cm and (a + 1) cm is a right angled triangle.
Answer:
∆ABC is right angled triangle with right angle at B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Triangle having sides (a - 1) cm, 2√a and (a + 1) cm.
We need to prove that triangle is the right angled triangle.
Let the triangle be denoted by Δ ABC with side as;
AB = (a - 1) cm
BC = (2√ a) cm
CA = (a + 1) cm
Hence,
Now We know that

So;


Now;

Also;

Now We know that




[By Pythagoras theorem]

Hence, 
Now In right angled triangle the sum of square of two sides of triangle is equal to square of the third side.
This proves that ∆ABC is right angled triangle with right angle at B.
0 is a solution to this equation.
