Here is your answer dear......
__________________________
If three numbers a,b,c are in continued
proportion then we can write them as
a:b::b:c ≈ b²= ac
To find the fourth proportional number.
As we know,
A:B::B:C
15:45::45:X
15 = 45
45 x
By cross multiplication,
15 × x = 45 × 45
x = 45 × 45
15
x = 135
Hence, the fourth proportional number
is 135.

As mentioned above,
If a,b,c are in continued proportion then,
a:b::b:c
20:x::x:2000
20 = x
x 2000
By cross multiplication,
20× 2000 = x × x
20 × 2000 = x²
√ 40000 = x
200 = x => x = 200
Hence, the second and third proportional
numbers [ the means ] are 200.
