It is given that the numbers 27, 36, x are in continued proportion.

We have to find the value of x.

Apply condition for continued proportionality,

a:b::b:c

ab=bc

Substitute the known values within the formula

2736=36x

x=36×3627

By solving the above equation,

x=12×4

x=48

Therefore, the value of 'x' is 48.
