Answer:

a = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric mean of 2 numbers a and b is [tex]\sqrt{ab}[/tex] , then

[tex]\sqrt{28a}[/tex] = 16[tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] ( square both sides )

28a = (16[tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] )² = 1792 ( divide both sides by 28 )

a = 64

Answer:

a = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric mean for two numbers is given by :

GM = sqrt(ab)

16 sqrt(7) = sqrt(a*28)

Square each side

(16 sqrt(7))^2 = (sqrt(a*28))^2

256*7 = 28a

1792 = 28a

Divide each side by 28

1792/28 = 28a/28

64 = a
