The television set has a rectangular shape. The diagonal of this rectangle along with its width and length together form a right angular triangle.
This means that we can apply the Pythagorean theorem which states that:
(diagonal)^2 = (length)^2 + (width)^2
Let the width be w. We know that the length is 0.75 times the width, this means that: length = 0.75 w
Substitute in the above equation:
(20)^2 = (0.75w)^2 + (w)^2
400 = 0.5625 w^2 + w^2
400 = 1.5625 w^2
w^2 = 256
w = 16
This means that the width of the screen is 16 in.
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this proportion for n, we can use cross products.

Absolute value is when you have either a positive or negative value within a set of "parentheses" or what look just like vertical lines and whatever is within those line stays or becomes positive. The only exception to this is when there is a negative on the outside to act upon the positive values within.
Answer:
She swam a total distance of 2 1/4 miles in those three days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so- The first thing you need to do is make all denominators equal to make these fractions able to be added together. So, I made all denominators 12. (Tell me if you don't know how to make them all the same denominator, and I'll be happy to help!)
<u>2/3 = 8/12 </u>
<u>3/4 = 9/12 </u>
<u>5/6 = 10/12</u>
Then, I added the numerators together. Like this:
<u>8 + 9 + 10 = 27 </u>
So, this would be:
<u>27/12</u>
Lastly, I changed this improper fraction to a mixed number. I multiplied the denominator twice because it looked like it would be closest to 27 without going over.
<u>12 * 2 = 24 </u>
<em>The "2" will be the whole number in the mixed fraction.</em> Now, I'm going to subtract 24 from the numerator.
<u>27 - 24 = 3 </u>
<u>2 3/12</u>
After simplified, the fraction will be:
2 1/4
