Question

what is the mean proportion of 4 and 16

Answer 1

let a = 4
c = 16
: . b^2= ac
: . = 4 × 16
: . b^2 = 64
: . b = √64
: . b = 8
: . the mean proportional is 8.

Answer 2

Answer:

mean proportion of 4 and 16 is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the mean proportion of 4 and 16.

we know the formula for mean proportion of two numbers x and y is square root of the product of x and y.

Mathematically, we can write

$\text{mean proportion}=\sqrt{xy}$

Here, we have x = 4 and y = 16

Hence, using the formula for mean proportion, we have

$\text{mean proportion}=\sqrt{4\times 16}\\=\sqrt{64}\\=8$

Therefore, mean proportion of 4 and 16 is 8
