Answer» You want to buy a new TV. The DIAGONAL measure of the screen is 42 INCHES, and the screen width is 36.6 inches. What is the screen height? ROUND your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a²+b²=c² because its the Pythagorean theorem. ______________________________________ Given values , Diagonal of the TV. = 42 inches. Screen Width = 36.6 inches ______________________________________ Let the width be x . so ,by Pythagoras theorem, a² + b² = c² x² + 36.6² = 42² x² = 42²-36.6² x² = 1764 - 1339.56 x² = 424.44 x = √424.44 x = 20.601. [approx.] So ,the height of the TV. is 20.601. ______________________________________ |
