diagonal in opening: sqrt(36^2+24^2)
12*sqrt(9+4)=46.47inches
Now diagonal of TV
Now W=9/16 L
we need width and Length.
42^2=w^2 + L^2
42^2=(9/16)^2 L^2 +L^2
L^2=42^2*(25/16)^2
L=42*5/4=52inches Too big.
Can someone help me solve this story problem?
Tom is buying a 42 inch 1080 television on sale for 40% off. If the aspect ratio is 16:9 and the frame around the screen is 1 inch wide,will it fit in an entertainment center with an opening that is 36 inches by 24 inches? Show work that supports the conclusions (remember that televisions are measured diagonally).
