Determine the fourth proportional to 11.6 m, 9.2 m, 32.8 m. (Consider up to two decimals)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Correct answer is option 2 i.e. 26.01 m.
Given that
The fourth proportional to 11.6 m, 9.2 m, 32.8 m
Let a, b, c, and d are in proportion
then the fourth proportional, d = bc/a
Given, a = 11.6 m
b = 9.2 m
c = 32.8 m
According to the question;
⇒ d = bc/a
⇒ d = (9.2 × 32.8/11.6) = 26.01 m
