prove of a,b,c are in continued proportion
a2+b2 b(a+c)
-----------. = --------------
b(a+c). b2+c2
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
a, b and c are the continued proportion
a : b = b : c
⇒ a/b = b/c
⇒ b2 = ac
Now a/c = a2 + b2/b2 + c2
⇒ a(b2 + c2) = c(a2 + b2)
L.H.S. = a(b2 + c2) ⇒ a(ac + c2) ⇒ ac(a + c)
R.H.S. = c(a2 + b2) ⇒ c(a2 + ac) ⇒ ac(a + c)
L.H.S. = R.H.S. Hence proved.
