Answer:

The rectangle is 3.2 cm by 12.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached image for a diagram.

Choose <em>w</em> to represent the width because the length is described by referring to the width:  it's 3 more than (add 3) triple (multiplied by 3) the width.

Length = 3w + 3

The diagonal forms two right triangles, each with leg = <em>w</em>, other leg = 3<em>w</em> + 3, hypotenuse  =  13.

The Pythagorean Theorem says (\text{leg})^2+(\text{leg})^2=(\text{hypotenuse})^2 so

w^2+(3w+3)^2=13^2\\\\w^2+9w^2+18w+9=169\\\\10w^2+18w-160=0\\\\5w^2+9w-80=0\\

Now solve using the Quadratic Formula with a=5,\,b=9,\,c=-80.

w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81+1600}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{1681}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm41}{10}\\\\w=-5\text{ or }w=3.2

The negative root makes no sense as a distance, so the width of the rectangle is 3.2 cm. The length is 3(3.2) + 3 = 12.6 cm.

find the width, ans height and area of 26'' TV screen that has an aspect ratio of 4:3. round to the nearest whole number.
Rasek [7]

erform a simple calculation to match the screen size of a standard TV to that of a widescreen TV. If you currently have a 4:3 TV and you want to continue watching 4:3 on a widescreen TV, multiply the diagonal length of the older TV model by 1.22. The result would be the diagonal screen size that the widescreen TV would have to be to match the old model.

<span>Say you have a 40 inch (102 cm) TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio, but you're thinking about upgrading and you don't want your screen size to get smaller. You'd need to get at least a 50 inch (127 cm) screen to view in 4:3 without your picture getting smaller. That's because 1.22 x 40 = 49. Since 49 inch TVs are generally not made, you'd need to go up to 50 inches (127 cm).</span>
