Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the diagonal (d) of the rectangular computer monitor, given its length (l) and height (h):
d^2 = l^2 + h^2
Substituting the given values:
d^2 = 24^2 + 18^2
d^2 = 576 + 324
d^2 = 900
Taking the square root of both sides:
d ≈ √900
d ≈ 30
Therefore, the length of the diagonal is approximately 30 inches.
d^2 = l^2 + h^2
