Question 836394: The aspect ratio of older television monitors is 4:3. One such television has a rectangular viewing screen with perimeter 98 inches. What are the length and width of the screen? Since televisions are advertised by the diagonal measure of their screens, how would this monitor be advertised? Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2(4x)+2(3x)=98
8x+6x=98
x=98/14
x=7
4x=28
3x=21
------------------
c^2=28^2+21^2
c^2=784+441
c^2=1225
c=sqrt 1225
c=35 in
