Answer: The length is 12 inches while the height is 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation: It the Television has a diagonal of 13 inches, and a height of H inches, then the length would be (H + 7) inches. It’s length is 7 inches more than the height. At this point we can draw up a right angled triangle with the hypotenuse as 13 (diagonal side) and the other two sides as H and (H + 7)

Then we can apply the Pythagoras theorem which states that

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

(Where AC is the hypotenuse and AB and BC are the two other sides)

Hence,

13^2 = H^2 + (H + 7)^2

169 = H^2 + (H^2 + 14H + 49)

169 = 2H^2 + 14H + 49

By collecting like terms we now have

169 - 49 = 2H^2 + 14H

120 = 2H^2 + 14H

By re-arranging all terms on one side of the equation, we arrive at

2H^2 + 14H - 120 = 0

Divide all sides by 2

H^2 + 7H - 60 = 0

To solve the quadratic equation, we now factorize and we have,

H^2 + 12H - 5H - 60 = 0

(H + 12) (H - 5) = 0

Therefore

Either H + 12 = 0 OR

H - 5 = 0

Hence, Either H = -12 or H = 5

The dimension can not be a negative value so we shall take h equals 5.

Having calculated the height of the television as 5 inches, the length which was given as H + 7 can now be calculated as

Length = H + 7

Length = 5 + 7

Length = 12

Therefore, the length of the Television is 12 inches and the height is 5 inches

-7 (5y - 2u - 5)<br> Use the distributive property to remove parentheses
Montano1993 [528]
Times -7 by everything in the parentheses. so

-7 times 5y=-35y
-7 times -2u=14u
-7 times -5 = 35

therefore 35y+14u+35
