Answer:
26.2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonal of the TV = 60 inches while
its width = 54 inches.
The TV is a rectangle and the diagonal split it into two equal right-angled triangle, therefore
Pythagoras' Theorem is used to find the height of the TV.
[tex] {hypotenus}^{2} = {adjacent}^{2} + {opposite}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {height}^{2} = {60}^{2} - {54}^{2} [/tex]
= (60 - 54)(60 + 54)
= (6)(114(
= 684
Take the square roots of both sides
height = √684
= 26 1534 inches
= 26.2 inches
Hence, the height of the TV is 26.2 inches
