Hey there!
Here's the answer.
In order to calculate the geometric mean, let P be the product of the numbers, in a list, and N be the total number, such that
Geometric mean=P^1/N.
First find the product of 18 and 72. Then find the total number of values in the set, i.e. 2. Then the geometric mean can be calculated as such.
(18*72)^1/2 -->
(1296)^1/2 -->
(36*36)^1/2 -->
36^1/2*36^1/2 -->
6*6 -->
36
The geometric mean is 36.
Hope it helps!

To find the geometric mean of 18 and 72 . You will multiply 18 and 72 and get their square root..
then G= (18*72)^1/2
G= 36

It's the square root of (18*72) = sqrt(1296) = 36.

Okay, I'm gonna skip the super complicated stuff and just tell you this: The answer is 36 because (18/36)=(36/72)
Both equal 1/2.
Hope this helps!

In the case of two numbers multiply them and take the sqrt.
In the case of 3 numbers multiply them and take the cube root
and so forth.
In your case the GM=sqrt(18*72)= 36.
