a. 4 & 14 :good:
b. 6 & 16
c. 2 & 12
d. 8 & 28
e. 13 & 19


2. Which of the following pairs of numbers has a geometric mean of 44?

a. 3 & 72

c. 16 & 121 :good:
d. 2 & 484
e. 96 & 17


3. The distance between 2 cities on a map is 7 cm. The map has a scale of 1 cm : 20 km. Find the actual distance.

Thanks in advance!!! There is a big assessment on Tuesday, worth 28 points. I really hope to do good on it.

Jessica - you are welcome to PM me about your math homework. :) I'm rusty on my geometry, but each of these problems looks correct. You might want to google about the perpendicular bisectors to be sure, but I'm rather positive that #5 is also correct. The rest I'm sure about. Let me know how your assessment tomorrow goes!

I know already about perpendicular bisectors. thanks.
