Question

find the x in proportion​

Answer 1

This comes under continuous proportion .

36 : x : x : 16 = Middle terms are x and x

                        Extreme terms are 36 and 16

Middle Terms = x*x = x2 { x square }

Extreme terms = 36 *16 = 576

Therefore 576 = x2 { x square }

x = √576

x = 24
