A sculpture is 10 feet long and 6 feet wide. The artist made the sculpture so that the height is the geometric mean of the length and width. What is the height to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Geometric mean  = √( 10 * 6)   = √60  = about 7.7 ft

 

P.S. - notice that the geometric mean makes the ratios  10/ √60   and  √60 / 6    equal  ......check this for yourself....!!!!
