Answer:

6sqrt(3)

20

sqrt(77)

Explanation:

x is the geometric mean of a and b if the following equation is true.

a/x = x/b

9 and 12

9/x = x/12

x^2 = 9 * 12

x^2 = 108

x = sqrt(108)

x = 6sqrt(3)

16 and 26

16/x = x/25

x^2 = 16 * 25

x^2 = 400

x = 20

7 and 11

7/x = x/11

x^2 = 7 * 11

x = sqrt(77)
