Given a width to height ratio of a TV screen given as w and h as well as the diagonal length of the television l, return the actual width and height of the screen to one decimal point of precision.

Example:

    w = 16;
    h = 9;
    l = 42;
    [W,H] = teledims(w,h,l);

outputs

    W = 36.6
    H = 20.6

I think you have your W and H mixed up in your example and test suite.

Thanks James, I've fixed it now.

I also used round, but I not seen to be the best solution.

36.6/20.6==16/9 is false.
The values from the test suite are also inaccurate.
