In a: b = b:c , a is the mean proportion between b and c .
True
False
When a , b , c are in continued proportion then we have
a : b :: b : c
Hence b is the mean proportion of a and c.
∴ the given statement is false
If a, b, and c are in continued proportion, then a×c=b2.
Continued proportion means a:b :: b:c
Perimeter of a triangle is (a+b+c).
Temperature is measured in degree celsius (∘C).
The quantities a, 6, 12, and b are in continued proportion. Find the values of a and b.
Continued proportion means a:b :: b:c :: c:d
