If a TV is 120 inches, how would you determine the length if the height is 59?
+23254 The size of a television set is measured along its diagonal.
The length, width, and diagonal form a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem:
(length)2 + (width)2 = (diagonal)2
(59)2 + (width)2 = (120)2
3481 + (width)2 = 14400
(width)2 = 10919
width = 104.5 in. (approximately)
