Television sets used to come with an aspect ratio of 4:3 (width is 4 units and height is 3 units). Since broadcast channels in the United States are now broadcasting in 16:9, most newer sets come with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Your brother believes that since you can rewrite the ratio 16:9 as 4^2:3^2, that means a 4:3 television set is similar to a 4^2:3^2 television set. Is this true? What argument would you use to clarify your or your brother’s thinking? What are the dimensions of a television set that would be similar to the 4:3 set?

No, both televisions are not similar.

Aspect ration 12:9 is similar to 4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets consider it this way.

Aspect ration can be defined as a ratio of width to height.

For a television with aspect ratio 4:3

which means that the width will always be 33% greater than the height, which will result in a boxy image.

For a television with aspect ratio 16:9

16 - 9 = 7

which means that the width will be 78% greater than the height, which will result in a rectangular image.

Hence, both are not the same.

Exact similar dimension to that of 4:3 can be 12:9 because in both, width is 33% greater than height

what?

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
