Question

Find the meab proportion between 16 and 25.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean proportion between two numbers a and b is given by √(a*b)

So the mean proportion between 16 and 25 is √(16*25) = √400 = 20.

(It's like we assume it as 'x'. And then we say 16,x,x,25 are in proportion. And then we apply product of means = product of extremes and so, x = 20)

Answer 2

Answer:

∴ 16, x and 25 are in continued proportion. ∴16x=x25 or, x2=400 o, x=√400=20.
