Mr Burford saw a T.V. for sale online. The T.V is 22 inches tall and 27 inches wide. What size TV is Mr Burford looking at (rounded to the nearest inch).

TV's are sold based on the length of their diagonal, then let x be the diagonal
:
x^2 = 22^2 + 27^2
:
x^2 = 484 + 729
:
x^2 = 1213
:
x = square root(1213) = 34.828149535 approx 35 inches
