The TV is 45 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal length of television = 53 inches

Width of TV = 28 inches

As TV is in rectangular or square shape, a diagonal will form a right triangle

Where,

Diagonal = hypotenuse = c = 53 inches

Width = base = b = 28 inches

Length = perpendicular = a

we will use pythagorean theorem to find the length.

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\a^2+(28)^2=(53)^2\\a^2+784=2809\\a^2=2809-784\\a^2=2025$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{2025}\\a=45$

The TV is 45 inches tall.

Janae was vacuuming the narrow hallway in her house. She went 5 feet forwards in the first 4 seconds, then went 3 feet backwards

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

60 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

After she goes forward 5 feet (4 seconds), and the backwards 3 feet (another 4 seconds), the total distance forward she travelled is 2 feet. Then, she moved forward 2 feet in 8 seconds.

Then, as this is repeated, she moves forward 2 feet every 8 seconds. After 7 repetitions she travelled 14 feet, and 56 seconds elapsed. Then she goes forward 5 feet in 4 seconds, and she finaly reaches the end of the hallway

(14 +5 > 15)

So, in 60 seconds she reached the end of the hallway.
