Question

Find the third term of a proportional if the first, second and fourth terms are 24, 36, 126, pls help me :(

Answer 1

84

Explanation:

Let the third term be x.

So, the numbers will be:

24, 36, x, 126

Since, all the four terms are in proportion.

Therefore,

`(24)/(36) = (x)/(126) \\ \\ x = (24 * 126)/(36) \\ \\ x = (3,024)/(36) \\ \\ x = 84`
