Question

18,x, 50 are in
continued preoportion
ntinued proportion. Find the value of x.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given question it is said that 18,x,50 are in continued proportion

Hence according to proportion laws when a,b,c are in continued proportion then:

a:b = b:c

a/b = b/c

a× c = b^2

Therefore, b = (ac)^1/2

Applying proportion law

18:x = x:50

18×50 = x^2

x = (900)^1/2

x = 30
