Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the geometric mean of 2 numbers, multiply them together and then take the square root

gm = sqrt(9*16)

      sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

      = sqrt(9) sqrt(16)

     = 3 * 4

gm = 12

To find the geometric mean, write and solve 9/x = x/16 .

Cross multiply the proportion:  x² = 144

Square root both sides:  x = plus or minus 12
