Answer:

6√6

Explanation:

The geometric mean of numbers 27 and 8 is calculated by

-multiplying the numbers, to find the area made by a rectangle that is 27 by 8 and then

-square root the result to shape the area into a square, and find the side of the square

Geometric Mean of 27 and 8 is √(27·8)

We can simplify the square-root by writing the prime factors of the numbers 27 = 3·3·3 and 8 = 2·2·2.

√(27·8) = √(3·3·3·2·2·2) = 3·2√(3·2) = 6√6

Geometric Mean of 27 and 8 is 6√6
