We'll call these side lengths 's'. Recall that the pythagorean theorem is <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > where 'a' and 'b' are the legs and 'c' is the hypotenuse. In this case, the square's side lengths are the legs and the diagonal is the hypotenuse. This means that <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=s%5E2%2Bs%5E2=37%5E2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"s%5E2%2Bs%5E2=37%5E2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Simply solve this equation for 's' to find the side length of the square tv </SPAN>\n" );
