What is the ratio of the third proportional of 5 & 9 and the mean proportional between 1.6 and 8.1? |
2:9 9:5 9:2 9:11 |
9:2 |
Third proportional a, b, c c = \(\frac{b2}{a}\) third proportional = 5, 9, x x = \(\frac{81}{5}\)
Mean proportional = \(\sqrt {1.6 × 8.1}\) = 3.6 3rd proportional : mean proportional \(\frac{81}{5}\) : 3.6 9 : 2
