Question

if x, 42, 294 are in continued proportion find the value of x​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

x,42,294 are in continued proportion

and we know that if a,b,c are in continued proportion

if a,b,c are in continued proportion then: a/b=b/c

if a,b,c are in continued proportion then: a/b=b/c =)b²=ac------(i)

if a=x,b=42,c=294 then we will get:

x/42=42/294

=) (42)²=294x [we bring it like the eq no.(i)]

=) 1764=294x

=) 294x=1764

=) x=1764/294

=) x=6 (ans)
