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.
Answer:
The probability of a successful event is the ratio of the number of successful events to the total number of events. In this case, a successful event is selecting a red marble from the box. The total number of events is the total number of marbles in the box:
Red marbles/Total number of marbles
4/12 divide
=1/3
Can you provide a picture ?? or some sort of context
(a)
= 400
(b)
(c) Only the positive solution makes sense because you cannot have a negative side length.
(d) Since one side of the painting is 20 inches, all four sides together will be 20*4 = 80 inches
