Answer:
Third proportional of 12 and 6
is 3.
Explanation :
___________________________
The third proportional of two numbers a and b is defined to be that number c such that a : b = b : c
____________________________
Here ,
a= 12 , b = 6 ,
Let third proportional = c
12:6 = 6:c
=> 12×c = 6×6
=> c = 36/12
=> c = 3
Therefore ,
Third proportional of 12 and 6
is 3.
