THis is all geometric means. You're only going to use the first one for this problem, here just solve the proportions. \[\frac{JM}{JK} = \frac{JK}{JL}\]\[\frac{LM}{LK} = \frac{LK}{LJ}\]\[\frac{LM}{MK} = \frac{MK}{JM}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just cross multiply. \[JK^{2} = JM \times JL\]\[LK^{2} = LM \times LJ\]\[MK^{2} = LM \times JM\]
