Answer:

Height of computer screen in inches = 8.48 inches (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diagonal of screen of laptop computer = 19 inches

Width of screen of laptop = 17 inches

Find:

Height of computer screen in inches

Computation:

Screen diagonal, width and height makes a right angle triangle

So,

Using Pythagoras theorem;

Perpendicular = √Hypoteneus² - Base²

Height of computer screen in inches = √(Diagonal of screen of laptop computer)² - (Width of screen of laptop)²

Height of computer screen in inches = √(19)² - (17)²

Height of computer screen in inches = √361 - 289

Height of computer screen in inches = 8.48 inches (Approx.)
