The space above the fireplace's mantel is 45 inches tall and 60 inches wide. You have the option of placing a 60", 68", 75" or 80" TV. Which is the largest TV that will fit? Show all your steps
To determine the largest TV that will fit, we need to compare the dimensions of the space above the fireplace's mantel with the dimensions of the TVs.
Given:
Space above the fireplace's mantel:
Height = 45 inches
Width = 60 inches
TV options:
Option 1: 60-inch TV
Option 2: 68-inch TV
Option 3: 75-inch TV
Option 4: 80-inch TV
We will compare the height of each TV with the available height of the space:
1. For the 60-inch TV:
The TV's height is 60 inches, which is greater than the available space of 45 inches. Therefore, it will not fit.
2. For the 68-inch TV:
The TV's height is 68 inches, which is greater than the available space of 45 inches. Therefore, it will not fit.
3. For the 75-inch TV:
The TV's height is 75 inches, which is greater than the available space of 45 inches. Therefore, it will not fit.
4. For the 80-inch TV:
The TV's height is 80 inches, which is greater than the available space of 45 inches. Therefore, it will not fit.
Based on the comparison, none of the TV options will fit the available space above the fireplace's mantel.
