Cover Story: The power means (Hölder means and Lehmer means) of a number of variables have traditionally been calculated using symbols or numbers, even in instances where the variables appear as line segments. Recently, there has been growing interest in determining the different means in such cases using geometric construction. The authors have previously published two articles confirming that the Crossed Ladders Diagram offers itself as a versatile tool for the geometric construction of Hölder means where the variables are given as line segments. The present paper shows that a surprisingly large number of Lehmer means also can be geometrically constructed using of this tool. View this paper.
