w for width, y for height;
\n" ); document.write( "Express the ratios as w/y for \"width to height\". This is \"16%2F9\". Further, \"w%2Fy=16%2F9\" applies to each of the TVs.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Each TV can be cut along a diagonal to form two right triangles, of legs w and y, and the diagonal is hypotenuse.\r
