<PRE><B>Question 855226</B>
 the sizes of computer monitors and television screens are found by measuring the length of the diagonal of the rectangular screen. the 50 inch rectangular tv below has a bottom length of 41 inches. what is the height of the screen? 
-----------------------
diag^2 = length^2 + height^2
----------------------------------
50^2 = 41^2 + height^2
-------
height = sqrt[50^2-41^2] = 28.61
