1) For her birthday, your grandmother wants you to replace her old, tube TV with a new, widescreen TV. Her current TV measures 42" and she would like her new TV to measure the same size. What are the dimensions of the new TV if the aspect ratio is 16:97

Both values are approximate, rounded to 3 decimal places.

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to say 16:9 instead of 16:97

The ratio 16:9 means that the horizontal width is 16x units and the height is 9x units. They form the ratio 16x:9x which reduces to 16:9

She wants the tv to be the same size as her old one, so the new tv will also have a diagonal of 42 inches (tv sizes are measured by the length of the diagonal).

Through the pythagorean theorem, we can say

a^2+b^2 = c^2

(16x)^2 + (9x)^2 = (42)^2

256x^2 + 81x^2 = 1764

337x^2 = 1764

x^2 = 1764/337

x^2 = 5.23442136498517 approximately

x = sqrt(5.23442136498517)

x = 2.28788578495194

x = 2.288

This means the dimensions would be

width = 16x = 16*2.288 = 36.608 inches

height = 9x = 9*2.288 = 20.592 inches

both are approximate

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*

answer: 20
