Question

The screen at Dallas' AT&T Stadium is 175 feet wide. A movie theatre screen with

Answer 1

Answer:

17150 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of sides = a : b , then

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here ratio of sides = 175 : 40 = 35 : 8 , then

ratio of areas = 35² : 8² = 1225 : 64

let x be the area of AT & T Stadium then by proportion

$\frac{x}{1225}$ = $\frac{896}{64}$ ( cross- multiply )

64x = 896 × 1225 = 1097600 ( divide both sides by 64 )

x = 17150

The AT & T screen has an area of 17150 ft²
