You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you want to reduce the size without distorting it (keeping the proportions),
\n" ); document.write( "the proportion $\"Y%2F91=16%2F69\"$ will give the height $\"Y\"$ in inches for a 16 inch width.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Y%2F91=16%2F69\"$ --> $\"Y=16%2A91%2F69\"$ --> $\"Y=21.1\"$ (rounded to the nearest inch) or $\"Y=21.1\"$ (rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
