2. In a right triangle, the altitude to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. If the segments are of length 'a' and 'b', the altitude is the geometric mean of:
a and b
a and (a+b)
b and (a+b)
a, b, and (a+b)
3. The geometric mean of two positive numbers 'x' and 'y' is given by the formula GM = .
