Area of wall = 9*12 = 108 ft^2
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "width of TV = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 2x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "diagonal of TV = 72 \"= 6 ft
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+(2x)^2=6^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+4x^2=36
\n" ); document.write( "5x^2=35
\n" ); document.write( "x^2=36/5
\n" ); document.write( "x = sqrt(36/5)
\n" ); document.write( "width = 2.68 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "length = 2.68*2=5.36 ft
\n" ); document.write( "Area of TV = 2.68*5.36
\n" ); document.write( "=14.36ft^2
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "Area of Wall - Area of TV= 108-14.36 = 93.63 ft^2
