Question 322868: a 31 inch square tv is on sale at the local electronic store. If 31 inches is the measure of the diagonal of the screen use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the side of the screen. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the sides be x in each
x^2+x^2=31^2 (pythagorean theorem)
2x^2=31^2
divide by2
x^2=31^2/2
x^2=31/sqrt2
x=21.92 inches, the sides of the TV
