The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the given information. We know that the ratio of A to B is 3:2. We can express A in terms of B: \[ A = \frac{3}{2}B \] ### Step 2: Write the equation based on the relationship given in the problem. The problem states that six times the square of B is 540 more than the square of A: \[ 6B^2 = A^2 + 540 \] ### Step 3: Substitute the expression for A into the equation. Substituting \( A = \frac{3}{2}B \) into the equation: \[ 6B^2 = \left(\frac{3}{2}B\right)^2 + 540 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation. Calculating \( \left(\frac{3}{2}B\right)^2 \): \[ \left(\frac{3}{2}B\right)^2 = \frac{9}{4}B^2 \] Now substitute this back into the equation: \[ 6B^2 = \frac{9}{4}B^2 + 540 \] ### Step 5: Eliminate fractions by multiplying the entire equation by 4. To eliminate the fraction, multiply the entire equation by 4: \[ 4 \cdot 6B^2 = 4 \cdot \frac{9}{4}B^2 + 4 \cdot 540 \] This simplifies to: \[ 24B^2 = 9B^2 + 2160 \] ### Step 6: Rearrange the equation. Now, rearranging gives: \[ 24B^2 - 9B^2 = 2160 \] \[ 15B^2 = 2160 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( B^2 \). Dividing both sides by 15: \[ B^2 = \frac{2160}{15} \] Calculating this gives: \[ B^2 = 144 \] ### Step 8: Find the value of B. Taking the square root of both sides: \[ B = \sqrt{144} \] Thus: \[ B = 12 \] ### Final Answer: The value of B is 12. ---
