Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From a given vertex, two of the vertices are adjacent, so a "diagonal" to those will not form a triangle. The number of diagonals that can be drawn is 3 fewer than the number of sides. The number of triangles is 1 more than the number of diagonals.

For a 5-sided figure, 2 diagonals can be drawn from a common vertex.

3 triangles will be formed.

Calculate the width of a 80” TV if the TV has an aspect ratio of 21:9.

Answer:

34.29 Inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Aspect Ratio of a screen is the ratio of the Width to the Height of the screen.

We are told that the TV screen has an aspect ratio of 21:9

Therefore:

$\dfrac{Width}{Height}=\dfrac{21}{9} \\$Since Width =80''\\\dfrac{80}{Height}=\dfrac{21}{9}\\$Cross multiply\\Height*21=80*9\\Height =(80*9) \div 21\\$Height =34.29$
