Question

find the mean proportion between the following .12 and 48 ​

Answer 1

What is the mean proportional of 27 and 48

x / a = b / x

here , a = 27 , b = 48

so now ,

x / 27 = 48 / x

by cross multiplication ,we get

x^2 = 27 × 48

x^2 = 1296

x = √1296

x = 36

hence , the mean proportional of 27 and 48 is 36.
