Find the third term of a proportional if the first, second and fourth terms are 24, 36, 126

The third term of a proportional is: 84

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if a, b, c and d are in proportion, then:

a × d = b × c

In our case, we are given the first, second, and fourth terms are 24, 36, 126.

a = 24

b = 36

d = 126

and we have to determine the third term 'c'.

as we know that  if a, b, c, and d are in proportion, then:

a × d = b × c

Thus,

substituting a = 24, b = 36, d = 126 to determine

24 × 126 = 36 × c

c = (24 × 126)/36

c = 3024/36

c = 84

Thus, the third term of a proportional is: 84

ok then what happened.
