Answer 2

Solution :

***************************************
Third Proportional :

If ' x ' is third proportional of a and b,

Then ,

a : b = b : x

=> x = b²/a

*********************************************

Here ,

a = 36 , b = 18 ,

Let the third proportional of a and b

( x ) = b²/a

=> x = 18²/36

= ( 18 × 18 )/36

= 9

Therefore ,

Third proportional of 36 and 18 = 9
