To find the value of \( x \) using the geometric mean, we need additional information typically found in triangle problems—like the lengths of other sides or a specific relationship between the sides.
The formula for the geometric mean of two positive numbers \( a \) and \( b \) is:
\[
\text{Geometric Mean} = \sqrt{a \cdot b}
\]
If there are two legs of the triangle involved with \( x \), we can set them up in a proportion based on the triangle's altitude or similar triangles.
