Ok, i sort of get it but i don’t. 1:1 is square 16:9 means it’s 1.77 x’s wider than it is tall. But what the hell does 9 actually represent considering it comes in many sizes from small to large yet same ratio, so what makes one side 9 or what ever? For instance why not just say 1.77:1?
In: 3
Ratios are all about the relationship of the two values. Think of it like “for every 16 of the first value there is 9 of the other value.”
The math of it can get confusing but think of the 16 and 9 as blocks of wood that are all the same size. Put 16 of them in a flat line on a table and add 8 on top of the last block on the end to make a tower 9 tall. That has a 16:9 ratio. Now use larger or smaller blocks and do the same thing. They will all be the same 16:9 ratio but larger or smaller.
