Traditional TVs come in a 4:3 format, meaning the ratio of the length to the width of the rectangular screen is 4 to 3. What is the area of a 37-inch traditional TV screen? What is the area of a 37-inch LCD TV whose screen is in a 16:9 format?    So far I tried to get the traditional tv's dimension with the pythagorean theorem. so it was X^2 + (3/4)X^2 = 37^2 (X= length) and my final answer was X= 48.95 but when i got the area it was wrong. </SPAN>\n" );
