Answer:
The TV has a length of 61.01" and a height of 34.32"
Step-by-step explanation:
The size of a TV is given by the length of it's diagonal, in this case the diagonal of the TV is 70". The ratio of the screen is 16:9, which means that for every 16 units on the length of the tv there are 9 inches on its height. The diagonal of the screen forms a right angle with the length and the width, therefore we can apply Pythagora's theorem as shown below:
[tex]diagonal^2 = height^2 + length^2\\\\height^2 + length^2 = (70)^2\\\\height^2 + length^2 = 4900[/tex]
Since the ratio is 16:9, we have:
[tex]9*length = 16*height[/tex]
[tex]length = \frac{16}{9}*height[/tex]
Applying this on the first equation, we have:
[tex]height^2 + (\frac{16}{9}*height)^2 = 4900\\\\height^2 + \frac{256}{81}*height^2 = 4900\\\\\frac{337}{81}*height^2 = 4900\\\\height^2 = \frac{4900*81}{337}\\\\height^2 = \frac{396900}{337}\\\\height^2 = 1177.744\\\\height = \sqrt{1177.744}\\\\height = 34.32[/tex]
[tex]length = \frac{16}{9}*34.32\\\\length = 61.01[/tex]
The TV has a length of 61.01" and a height of 34.32"
