Question

If 25, 35 and x are in continued proportion find the value of x

Answer 1

As they r in continued proportion so
25/35=35/x
= 25x=35*35
x=35*35/25
x=49

Answer 2

The value of x is 49.

• The numbers 25 , 35 and x are in continued proportion.

• Continued proportion is a proportion in which the consequent of each ratio is antecedent of the next.

• Therefore,

$\frac{25}{35}$ = $\frac{35}{x}$

• We have to find the value of x.

x = $\frac{(35)(35)}{25}$

x = 49

• The value of x is 49
