...by one of the inclined sides ; that is, P = — S TT By theorem 1, P ; R ; ; — ; S ; and because the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes, PS=R|; and dividing each of these equals by S, K! From theorem 2 we derive the following rule for finding... | |

...denominators 6 and d, we have ad = bc. But a and d are the extremes, and b and c the means. Hence, In any proportion the product of the means is equal to the pro duct of the extremes. 2. Suppose we have ad=bc. Dividing both members by 6 If the product of two... | |

...denominators 5 and d, we have ad = b c. But a and d are the extremes, and 6 and c the means. Hence, In any proportion the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes. 2. Suppose we have ad = bc. Dividing both members by 6 and d, we have r = -, or a : b = c : d. Hence,... | |

...the second T8T, and they are equal ; that is 4 : 6 :zz 8 : 12, Therefore £ = TV Whence 4x12:=eX8. In Proportion, the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes; therefore 4 : 6 :: 8 : 12. In this proportion the 4 and 12 are the extremes, and the 6 and 8 the means.... | |
