If you have a 30 Foot wide movie screen and you want to maintain 16:9 ration?
What would the height be? What exactly is the formula?

Update:
Lare - Yeah I know. I'm rebuilding my 24' to a 30' and we mostly watch HDTV on it which is why I chose 16:9.

height = width * 9 / 16 = 16.875 feet.

16:9
16 is the horizontal run, 9 is the vertical rise.
30x9/16= 16 foot 10 1/2 inches.
however, not many movies are shot at that aspect ratio, most are considerably wider. 16:9 is ratio for television HD.
