Question

The aspect ratio of a TV screen is the ratio of the width to the height of the image. A regular TV has an aspect ratio of 16: 9. Find the height and width of a 51-inch TV screen to the nearest tenth of an inch. (The measure given is the length of the diagonal across the screen.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Width = 44.45 inches

Height = 25.00 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(16x)^2 + (9x)^2 = 51^2

256x^2 + 81x^2 = 2601

337x^2 = 2601

x^2 = 7.718

x = 2.778

Width = 44.45 inches

Height = 25.00 inches

I think this is right
