To find the new diagonal measurement, we can use Pythagoras' theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Using the dimensions provided, the original diagonal measurement can be found using the formula:
diagonal^2 = width^2 + height^2
diagonal^2 = 3^2 + 5^2
diagonal^2 = 9 + 25
diagonal^2 = 34
Taking the square root of both sides, we find:
diagonal ≈ √34
Therefore, the original diagonal measurement is approximately 5.83 inches.
If the new phone is 1 inch wider and 2 inches taller, the new dimensions would be:
Width = 3 + 1 = 4 inches
Height = 5 + 2 = 7 inches
Using the same formula, we can find the new diagonal measurement:
diagonal^2 = width^2 + height^2
diagonal^2 = 4^2 + 7^2
diagonal^2 = 16 + 49
diagonal^2 = 65
Taking the square root of both sides, we find:
diagonal ≈ √65
Therefore, the new diagonal measurement is approximately 8.06 inches.
