A typical graphing calculator has a height-to-width ratio of 23.
Is it square? No.
Explanation: See solution.
A typical graphing calculator has a height-to-width ratio of 23. Therefore, the graphing calculator will display a square window if the height and width satisfy this ratio.
Height/Width=2/3
Let's find the height (y) and width (x) of the given viewing window.
Since we ended up with a false statement, the viewing window is not a square.
