Were you one of the people in school who complained that they'll never need the math, so why bother learning it?Remember, x squared times y squared equals 150 squared16y = 9x, so x=(16/9)y, substitute in for x in the above.Solve for y, then plug back into the second equation and solve for xYou get 130.74" x 73.54"There... You never have to ask again!(Give a man a fish... You know the rest)

Remember, x squared times y squared equals 150 squared
16y = 9x, so x=(16/9)y, substitute in for x in the above.
Solve for y, then plug back into the second equation and solve for x
You get 130.74" x 73.54"
There... You never have to ask again!
