Answer:

Let a, b, and c be the height, width, and the diagonal of the screen respectively

Since they form a triangle and the angle between a and b is 90 degrees, according to the Pythagorean Theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Let's assume that the aspect ratio is 16:9. Therefore b/a = 16/9

Now we have a system of two equations with two unknowns. We need to express everything in terms of a single unknown, so let's express a in terms of b.

Since, b/a = 16/9, by cross multiplying 16a = 9b. Therefore a=9b/16.

Now we can subsitute 9b/16 for a in the first equation

a^2+b^2=c^2 becomes (9b/16)^2 + b^2 = c^2

Squaring the nominator and the denominator of the fraction yields

81b^2/256 + b^2 = c^2

To perform the addition, we need to express b^2 as a fraction with denominator 256 which is 256b^2/256, Now we have

81b^2/256 + 256b^2/256 = c^2

Adding fractions with the same denominators is now easy and produces

337b^2/256 = c^2

Cross multiply to get

337b^2 = 256c^2

Divide both sides by 337 to get b^2

b^2=256c^2/337

Take the square root of both sides to get b

b = sqrt(256c^2/337)

Lots of complicated Pythagorean responses. This is much simpler to answer with Trigonometry.

TLDR; just multiply the diagonal by the following two coefficients, and add the bezel width, to get the width and height:

w = diag x 0.872 + 2 x bw

h = diag x 0.49 + 2 x bw

(Where diag is the diagonal size of the screen and bw is the bezel width)

Thats all you need to know to do this.

Now here’s the Teig behind it:

First, calculate the angle of the diagonal relative to the base, using tangent, which yields ::

a = tan(9/16)

This will give you an angle of 0.512 radians (or roughly 30 degrees).

Next, calculate the ratio of the height relative to the hypotenuse (the diagonal length) using arc-sine, which yields the relative proportion of opposite length over the hypotenuse for a given angle:

h = asin(0.512)

The result will be roughly h = 0.49, or 49% of the diagonal.

Finally, get the ratio of eidth to hypotenuse using arc-cosine:

w = acos(0.512)

The result is roughly w = 0.872, or 87.2% of the diagonal.

that’s all the math! Enjoy!

Katyanochek1 [597]
The answer to this question:
One car probability 82/120
No car probability = 24/120
At least one car probability= 96/120

I will focus answering the 3 doors probability since the 2nd door problem is solved in the previous problem. (brainly.com/question/5761449)

No car condition
1. 1st door consolation, 2nd door consolation=, 3rd door consolation= 4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4= 24/120
This was also can be found by: (4!/1!)/ (6!/3!) = 24/120

(At least one car probability)  is the opposite of (no car probability) In this case, the easier way is 
100% - (no car probability) = 120/120 - 24/120= 96/120

One car probability is (At least one car probability) - (2 car probability). It will be easier to count the 2 car probability and subtract the (At least one car probability) 
Two car condition:
1. 1st door car, 2nd door car, 3rd door consolation = 2/6 * 1/5 * 4/4 =8/ 120
2.1st door car, 2nd door consolation, 3rd door car =2/6 * 4/5 * 1/4 = 8/120
3. 1st door consolation, 2nd door car, 3rd door car= 4/6 * 2/5 * 1/4= 8/120
The total probability will be 8/120+ 8/120 + /120= 24/120
This was also can be found by: (2!) (4!/2!)/ (6!/3!) = 24/120

One car probability =  (At least one car probability) - (2 car probability)= 96/120-24/120= 82/120
