This question is about Pythagorean theorem, a square + b square = c square Where a and b represents either leg of the triangle (width or height), and c represents the hypotenuse (the diagonal) Let height = h For the question above, the equation will be 36 square + h square = 45 square Subtract 36 square from both sides 36 square - 36 square + h square= 45 square - 36 square h square = 2025 - 1296 h square = 729 Find the square root of both sides Square root of h square = square root of 729 h = 27 The height of the television is 27
