• A,G and H between 2 numbers(a and b):

a+b √ 2ab
A= G= AB H=
2 a+b

• A>G>H

• quadratic eq having a and b as its roots

x2 − 2Ax + G2 = 0

• the two numbers(a,b) are A ± A2 − G2

• if A and G are in the ratio m : n, then the


number(a,b) are in ratio
p p
m + m2 − n2 : m − m2 − n2

• A,G and H between 3 numbers(a, b, c):
