James brought a 55" TV. If its aspect ratio is 4:3 what is its areaChoices:A. 3025in squaredB. 1452in squaredC. 33in squareD. 121in squared

Sagot :

We have the following:

55 inches indicates the diagonal of the TV, therefore:

let x a side A

let y a side B

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x=4y \\ x=\frac{4}{3}y \end{gathered}[/tex]

now, with the Pythagorean theorem

[tex]\begin{gathered} 55^2=x^2+y^2 \\ 3025=(\frac{4}{3}y)^2+y^2 \\ 3025=\frac{16}{9}y^2+y^2 \\ \frac{25}{9}y^2=3025 \\ y=\sqrt[]{3025\cdot\frac{9}{25}} \\ y=\sqrt[]{1089} \\ y=33 \end{gathered}[/tex]

for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{4}{3}\cdot33 \\ x=44 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Side A= 44 in

Side B = 33 in

The area:

[tex]a=A\cdot B=44\cdot33=1452[/tex]

The answer is 1452 inches squared, the option B
