Solution
If the two numbers are a and b, then the geometric mean between them is given by $\rm GM = \sqrt{ab}$.
Given,
$\rm a = 25$ and $\rm b = 625$
By substituting the values into the formula, we get,
$\rm or, GM = \sqrt{ab}$
$\rm or, GM = \sqrt{ 25 \cdot 625 }$
$\rm or, GM = \sqrt{15625}$
$\rm or, GM = \sqrt{ 125^{2} }$
$\rm \therefore GM = 125$
Hence, the required geometric mean between the numbers $\rm 25$ and $\rm 625$ is $\rm 125$.
