Question

find two numbers such that the mean proportional between them is 36 and the third proportional to them is 228​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the required numbers be A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

36 is the mean proportional between A and B ,

A/36=36/B

AB =1296,A=1297/B

288 is the third proportion

A/b=b/288

B×B=A

B×B=288×1296/B

B×B×B=373248

B=72

A =18

therefore,the two numbers ard 18 and 72
