Television screen sizes are the diagonal length of the rectangular screen. Hector recently changed from watching a television with a 13-inch screen to a television with a similar 19-inch screen. If a boxcar appeared 8 inches long on the 13-inch screen, how long, to the nearest inch, will it appear on the 19-inch screen?

x/8 = 19/13 => x = (8*19)/13 = 11.69 inches long;

The boxcar will appear approximately 12 inches long on the 19-inch screen after calculation. This is determined using a proportion based on the sizes of the screens and the boxcar. After solving the proportion, we round to the nearest inch.
