Given:

Two terms 8 + 4√2 and 6 - 3√2

Explanation:

The square root of the product of two numbers(a & b) when expressed as the means of a proportion.

For example: a/x : x/b

Calculation:

Let 'x' be the mean proportional value.

(8 + 4√2)/x : x/(6 - 3√2)

⇒ x2 = (8 + 4√2) × (6 - 3√2)

⇒ x2 = 48 - 24√2 + 24√2 - 24 

⇒ x2 = 24

⇒ x = 2√6

∴ The mean proportional value is 2√6
