What is the ratio between the fourth proportional of 6, 8, 18, and the mean proportional between 3 & 27? |
3:8 5:3 8:3 9:7 |
8:3 |
4th proportional P, Q, R, S S = \(\frac{QR}{P}\) Mean proportional = \(\sqrt {PQ }\) of P & Q 4th proportional of 6, 8, 18, \(x\) \(x\) = \(\frac{8 × 18}{6}\) = 24 Mean proportional = 3, 27 = \(\sqrt {3 × 27 }\) = 9 4th proportional : Mean proportional 24 : 9 8 : 3 |
