Question

Televisions and monitors come in two common aspect ratios, 4:3 and 16:9 (sometimes 16:10 is also used). Determine the dimensions of the screen of a 36 inch TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Answer 1

To determine the dimensions of a 36-inch TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio, we can use the formula:

Width = (Aspect Ratio Width / Aspect Ratio Height) * Height

For a 4:3 aspect ratio, the width would be:

Width = (4 / 3) * 36 inches

Width = 48 inches

So, the dimensions of the screen would be 48 inches wide and 36 inches tall.
