Formula Used:

The fourth proportional x  can be found using the formula for fourth proportional:

ab=cx\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{x}​​

Solution:

3558=310xx=310×5835x=5×10×85 x=5×805 x=5×805 x=5×16 x=5×4\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{5\sqrt{8}} = \frac{3\sqrt{10}}{x}\\x = \frac{3\sqrt{10} \times 5\sqrt{8}}{3\sqrt{5}}\\x = \frac{5 \times \sqrt{10} \times \sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{5}}\\\ \\x = \frac{5 \times \sqrt{80}}{\sqrt{5}}\\\ \\x = 5 \times \frac{\sqrt{80}}{\sqrt{5}}\\\ \\x = 5 \times \sqrt{16}\\\ \\x = 5 \times 4​​

Therefore, x = 20
