Answer:the value of a = 9 and b = 64/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a,12,6,b are in continued proportion.
= > (a/12) = (12/16) = (16/b)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now,
= > (12/16) = (16/b)
= > 16 * 16 = 12b
= > 256 = 12b
= > b = 256/12
= > b = 64/3.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now,
= > a/12 = 12/16
= > 16a = 144
= > a = 144/16
= > a = 9.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, the value of a = 9 and b = 64/3.
