Question

Television screens are measured along the diagonal. A certain 53-inch television is 45 inches wide. How tall is the television?

Answer 1

Answer:

28 inches

Step By Step Explanation:

By pythagoras  

53^2 = h^2 + 45^2    where h is the height of the television.

h^2 = 53^2 - 45^2 =  784

h = sqrt 784  = 28 inches

Answer 2

By pythagoras 
53^2 = h^2 + 45^2    where h is the height of the television.

h^2 = 53^2 - 45^2 =  784

h = sqrt 784  = 28 inches Answer
