Algebra.Com's Answer #110254 by nerdybill(7384) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Such units refer to the diag of the screen, A 25 in t.v set also has a width of a 20 inches what is the height \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The \"width\", \"height\", and \"diagonal\" edge of the TV forms a \"right triangle\". Because of this, we can apply Pythagorean theorem: \n" ); document.write( "width^2 + height^2 = diagonal^2 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Plugging in our given numbers: \n" ); document.write( "20^2 + height^2 = 25^2 \n" ); document.write( "height^2 = 25^2 - 20^2 \n" ); document.write( "height^2 = 625 - 400 \n" ); document.write( "height^2 = 225 \n" ); document.write( "height = sqrt(225) \n" ); document.write( "height = 15 inches \n" ); document.write( " |
