The Geometric Mean between any two positive numbers a and b is the square root of their product.

If we are looking for positive geometric mean sqrt%28ab%29

If we are looking for negative geometric mean -sqrt+%28ab%29


find the geometric mean between the numbers: 4 and 25
Geometric Mean = sqrt%28ab%29
= sqrt%284%2A25%29
= sqrt%28100%29
=10
