Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, make 40 = c, 24 = b and the remaining side (the width) = a.
Solving for a we get a = . Then plugging in the values for c and b, we get a =
= 32
Since the width of the TV needs to be less than 30" wide, it will not fit since the width of the TV is 32" wide.
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
18:24 (comparing the same sides for the similar shapes; 18 and 24) when simplified down is equal to 3:4.
Using this 3:4 scale factor we can find the missing side x.
Solving for x :
× 16 = 12
x = 12
OR: Set up a proportion:
×
<em>cross-multiply</em>
16 × 18 = 288
24 × x = 24x
288 = 24x
x = 12
