If p is the third proportional to 3, 9, then what is the fourth proportional to 6, p, 4? |
$\frac{3}{2}$ 10 18 $2\sqrt{3}$ |
18 |
Third proportion to a, b = $\frac{b\; \times\; b}{a}$ Third proportion to 3, 9 = $\frac{9\; \times\; 9}{3}$ p = 27
Fourth proportion to a, b, c = $\frac{b\; \times\;c}{a}$ Fourth proportion to 6, p(27), 4 = $\frac{27\; \times\; 4}{6}$ = 18 |
