- Let a, b be two numbers , HM = 2ab(a+b) , GM = sqrt(ab)
2ab(a+b) : sqrt(ab) = 12:13
2 sqrt(ab) / (a+b) = 12/3 , or (a+b) /2 sqrt(ab) = 13/12 , using componendo and dividendo
[a+b + 2 sqrt(ab)] / [a+b - 2 sqrt(ab)] =( 13+12)/(13-12)= 25
[ (√a + √b) /(√a- √b) ]² = 25 , [ (√a + √b) /(√a- √b) ] = 5 or sqrt(a/b) = 6/4 , a/b = 9/4 or 9:4 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
