Question 936547: Televisions are advertised by the length of their diagonals. If a 42 inch measures 18 inches high, how wide is the television? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! d = sqrt( ww + hh )
---
square both sides:
dd = sqrt( ww + hh )^2
dd = ww + hh
ww = dd - hh
w = sqrt( dd - hh )
---
w = sqrt( 42*42 - 18*18 )
w = 37.947331922
---
answer:
width = 37.95 inches
