Find the mean proportional of 12.96 and 0.16.

Question

Accepted Answer

The mean proportional (or geometric mean) between two numbers a and b is given by the square root of their product: Mean Proportional = √(a × b).

Here, a = 12.96 and b = 0.16.

Step 1: Multiply the two numbers:
12.96 × 0.16 = (12.96 × 16) / 100 = (207.36) / 100 = 2.0736

Step 2: Find the square root of the product:
√2.0736 = 1.44

Therefore, the mean proportional between 12.96 and 0.16 is 1.44.
