So for this you will be doing proportions. And in this case, the proportion is
(9)/(x) =(x)/(12)


Firstly, you'll need to cross multiply. Your equation will look like this:
108=x^2


Finally, square root each side and your answer will be
√(108)=x. However this can be simplified.



√(108) =√(18*6)=√(9*2*3*2)=2√(3*3*3) =3*2√(3) =6√(3)


In short, your answer is
6√(3)
