For instance, if the length is 16 inches (40. 6 cm) and the height is 10 inches (25. 4 cm), the image area can be found by multiplying 16 by 10, which equals 160 square inches.

If the length is 16 inches (40. 6 cm) and the height is 10 inches (25. 4 cm), the aspect ratio is 16:10. If the length is 25 inches (63. 5 cm) and the height is 15 inches (38. 1 cm), the aspect ratio is 25:15, which can be divided by 5 to reduce it to 5:3.

For example, if the height is 10 inches (25. 4 cm), multiply that by itself (10x10=100). Then, multiply the length, 16 inches (40. 6 cm), by itself (16x16=256). Add the 2 numbers together (100+256=356), then find the square root of the sum (√356=18. 9).
