Find the mean proportional of (12 + 6√2) and (8 - 4√2).
Question

Find the mean proportional of (12 + 6√2) and (8 - 4√2).

A.

4√3

B.

3√2

C.

3√3

D.

4√2

Correct option is A

Given:
Mean proportional of (12+62)and(842)(12 + 6\sqrt{2}) \text{and} (8 - 4\sqrt{2})
Formula Used:
Mean Proportional of a and b is given by a×b\sqrt {a × b}​​
Solution:
Substitute the values of a=(12+62)and b=(842)a=(12 + 6\sqrt{2}) \text{and}\, b= (8 - 4\sqrt{2})​​
Mean Proportional=(12+62)×(842)Mean Proportional=12×8+12×(42)+62×8+62×(42)Mean Proportional=96482+48248Mean Proportional=48Mean Proportional=43\text{Mean Proportional} = \sqrt{(12 + 6\sqrt{2}) \times (8 - 4\sqrt{2})} \\\text{Mean Proportional} = \sqrt{12 \times 8 + 12 \times (-4\sqrt{2}) + 6\sqrt{2} \times 8 + 6\sqrt{2} \times (-4\sqrt{2})} \\\text{Mean Proportional} = \sqrt{96 - 48\sqrt{2} + 48\sqrt{2} - 48} \\\text{Mean Proportional} = \sqrt{48} \\\text{Mean Proportional} = 4\sqrt{3}​​
