Answer 1

The area of the screen at AT&T Stadium is 4,480 square feet.

Explanation:

Given that the screen at Dallas' AT&T Stadium is 175 feet wide, and a movie theater screen with similar dimensions is 40 feet wide with a screen area of 1,024 ft², to determine what is the area of the screen at AT&T Stadium the following calculation must be done:

40 = 1,024

175 = X

175 x 1,024 / 40 = X

179,200 / 40 = X

4,480 = X

Thus, the area of the screen at AT&T Stadium is 4,480 square feet.
