Answer:

The Width = 28 inches

The Height = 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

The width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3

Using Pythagoras Theorem

Width² + Height² = Diagonal²

Since we known that the size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches.

Hence, for this new TV

Width² + Height² = 35²

We are given ratio: 4:3 as aspect ratio

Width = 4x

Height = 3x

(4x)² +(3x)² = 35²

= 16x² + 9x² = 35²

25x² = 1225

x² = 1225/25

x² = 49

x = √49

x = 7

Hence, for the 35 inch tv set

The Width = 4x

= 4 × 7

= 28 inches.

The Height = 3x

= 3 × 7

= 21 inches

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation 3x+4y=12?
mash [69]

Slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)

(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)


Isolate the "y" in the equation

3x + 4y = 12       Subtract 3x on both sides

4y = 12 - 3x        Divide 4 on both sides

y=3-\frac{3}{4}x  or   y=-\frac{3}{4} x+3   The slope is -3/4


For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also -\frac{3}{4}

How do you find the area of this
zlopas [31]

Answer:

2345 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can use Soh Cah Toa to find line c to be 36*sqrt(2). Furthermore, you can use the same equation to find the other sides to be both 65.15. To further solve, you just need to multiply 65.15 by 36 to get a final answer of 2,345.4 units^2

Write the first five terms of the geometric sequence in which a1=8 and the common ratio is -1/2.
Oliga [24]

Answer:

First five terms are:

8 , (-4) , 2 , (-1) , (1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{1}=8 \\\\r = \frac{-1}{2}\\\\a_{2}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{1}= \frac{-1}{2}*8= -4\\\\a_{3}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{2}=\frac{-1}{2}*-4=2\\\\a_{4}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{3}=\frac{-1}{2}*2=-1\\\\a_{5}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{4}=\frac{-1}{2}*-1=\frac{1}{2}
