There are two tvs of different sizes. One is a 42\" diagonal TV that costs $420, the other is a 50\" diagonal tv that costs $550. The aspect ratio of each is 16:9, width to height. What is the cost per square inch of each tv?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Note:: 16:9 is the same as 16x:9x
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for 42\" TV::
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt[(16x)^2+(9x)^2] = 42
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "(16x)^2 + (9x)^2 = 42^2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "337x^2 = 1764
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 5.2344
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.287
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Dimensions::
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 20.59\"
\n" ); document.write( "16x = 29.73\"
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 612.16 sq in
\n" ); document.write( "Cost per square in:: $420/612.16 = $0.69
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "I'll leave the 2nd TV cost per square in to you.
