A television is 28.5 inches wide and 16 inches long.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, what is the length of the diagonal of the television, rounded to the nearest inch?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  33 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...

  diagonal² = length² +width²

  diagonal² = (16 in)² +(28.5 in)² = 1068.25 in²

  diagonal = √(1068.25 in²) ≈ 32.684 in

The diagonal of the television is about 33 inches.
