The answer to this question is D because 16 divided by 8 is 2 and 8 divided by 4 is 2. I hope this helps you :)

Answer:

d

Explanation:

The proportion given to us is


(16)/(x) =(x)/(4)

Next we cross multiply to get


16*4=x*x


64=x^2


x^2=64

Take the sqrt on both side to get x

so


√(x^2)   = √(64)

x=8

so the correct option is d .
