Television screen sizes are the diagonal length of the
rectangular screen. Hector recently changed from
watching a television with a 13-inch screen to a television
with a similar 19-inch screen. If a boxcar
appeared 8 inches long on the 13-inch screen, how
long, to the nearest inch, will it appear on the 19-inch
screen?



Answer :

x/8 = 19/13 => x = (8*19)/13 = 11.69 inches long;
