Summary[edit]

Description
English: Proof without words of the inequality of arithmetic and geometric means, drawn by CMG Lee. PR is a diameter of a circle centred on O; its radius AO is the arithmetic mean of a and b. Using the geometric mean theorem, right triangle PGR can be split into two similar triangles PQG and GQR; GQ / a = b / GQ, hence GQ = √(ab), the geometric mean.
