Congratulations, you rented the boat and made it to the A.A.K.V.O. freighter! You're finally free!
Once on the freighter, you decided to catch up on all the TV you missed. Unfortunately, you walked into a controversy between the captain of the ship and the first mate. The captain just got a new HDTV with a 42-inch diagonal and a 16:9 aspect ratio, and he wants you to watch TV with him. However, the first mate has an older 37-inch diagonal TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio and claims that his TV actually has a bigger area for the picture. He said because his TV is more square, it's bigger even though the diagonal is less. As evidence, he has pointed out that his TV is taller than the new one.
You want to watch the TV with the largest area. Which one should you watch?
P.S. The first mate is so confident he will win that he has offered to let you use his calculator.
