Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

given that 4, x , 9 are in continued proportion , then

4 : x = x : 9 ( express in fractional form )

[tex]\frac{4}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{9}[/tex] ( cross multiply )

x² = 4 × 9 = 36 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± [tex]\sqrt{36}[/tex] = ± 6

The positive value of x is x = 6
