An artist is designing a website to showcase his 15-inch-wide paintings. The website will include scaled-down images of the paintings called thumbnails. For ease of viewing and to keep the thumbnail images large enough to show some detail, the artist decides to put three thumbnail images in a row so that any two adjacent images are separated by a space of 40 pixels, as shown in the figure above. If the website is 800 pixels wide, what should be the scaled size (in pixels per inch of painting) of the thumbnails?

Respuesta :

The scaled size of the thumbnails is 16 pixels per inch of painting

How to determine the scaled size?

The given parameters are:

  • Width = 15 inches
  • Website = 800 pixels

The space between adjacent images is 40 inches.

Given that there are two spaces, the remaining space is:

Remaining = 800 - 2 * 40

Remaining = 720

Given that there are three samples of image, the width of each image is:

Image = 720/3

Divide

Image = 240 pixels

The scaled size is then calculated using:

Scale = Image scale width/actual width

This gives

Scale = 240/15

Evaluate

Scale = 16

Hence, the scaled size of the thumbnails is 16 pixels per inch of painting
