Q. Abby is buying a rectangular

widescreen TV that she will hang on the
wall between two windows such that the
longer side of the TV is horizontal. The
windows are 36 inches apart horizontally,
and a widescreen TV is approximately
twice as wide as it is tall. Which of the
following could be the diagonal length of
a widescreen TV that fits between the
windows?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) 32 inches
(B) 42 inches
(C) 55 inches
(D) 60 inches

kl Understand Problem: Understand the

problem and the given information.
The space between the windows is 36
inches, and the TV's aspect ratio is
approximately 2 : 1, meaning the width is
twice the height. We need to find a TV size
that fits within this space, considering the
diagonal length.
ml Denote TV Dimensions: Let's denote the
height of the TV as h and the width as w .
According to the aspect ratio, w = 2h. The
diagonal d can be found using the
Pythagorean theorem, where d2 = h2 + w 2 .
nl Substitute in Pythagorean Theorem:
Substitute the width in terms of height into
the Pythagorean theorem.
d2 = h2 + (2h)2
d2 = h2 + 4h2
d2 = 5h2
ol Set Width Constraint: Since the width of
the TV must be less than or equal to 36
inches to fit between the windows, we set
w ≤ 36 inches. Therefore, 2h ≤ 36 inches,
which implies h ≤ 18 inches.
pl Calculate Maximum Diagonal Length:
Calculate the maximum possible diagonal
length using the maximum height of 18
inches.

d2 = 5h2

d2 = 5(18)2

d2 = 5(324)

d2 = 1620

d= 1620

d ≈ 40.25 inches

ql Compare with Options: Compare the

calculated diagonal length with the given
options.
The calculated diagonal length is
approximately 40.25 inches, which is not an
option. However, it is closest to option (B)
42 inches, which is slightly larger than the
calculated length. Since the TV must fit
between the windows, the diagonal length
must be less than or equal to the space
available. Therefore, option (A) 32 inches is
the only possible size that is less than the
calculated diagonal and also less than the
space available between the windows.

Question

Aiden has $200 with which to purchase hats and t-

shirts that are to be sold at his class' next fundraiser.
Each hat costs the same amount of money, and each t-
shirt costs the same amount of money. If Aiden spends
all his money entirely on hats, he will get 40 hats. If
Aiden purchases only t-shirts, he will get 80 t-shirts.
Which of the following best models the relationship
between the number of hats, h, and the number of t-
shirts, t, that Aiden could purchase with this money?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) 40h + 80t = 400
(B) 80h + 40t = 200
(C) 5h + 2.5t = 200
(D) 2.5h + 5t = 200
