Question

If x,12,y ,27 are in continued proportion then find the values of x and y​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Again, 12 y, 27 are in continued proportion, ∴12y=y27 or, y2=12=12×27. or, y2=324 or, y=√324 or, y=√324=±18 . ∵y>0,∴y=18

Answer 2

Answer:

solution: x/12 = y/27

or, x/y = 12/27

or, x/y = 4/9

therefore = x : y = 4 : 9
