#6#

Explanation:

the geometric mean is the product of all the numbers in a set, with the root of how many numbers there are.

here, there are two numbers, so a square root is used.

geometric mean of #3# and #12#: #sqrt(3 * 12)#

#3 * 12 = 36#

#sqrt(36) = 6#

the value of the geometric mean of #3# and #12# is #6#.
