Question

To calculate the diagonal, we can use the Pythagorean theorem which states that the square of the diagonal is equal to the sum of the squares of the height and width of the screen.iPad 3
iPad: _____; Height: 10 in.; Width: 7 in.

Answer 1

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the diagonal of the iPad 3:

Diagonal^2 = Height^2 + Width^2
Diagonal^2 = 10^2 + 7^2
Diagonal^2 = 100 + 49
Diagonal^2 = 149

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

Diagonal = √149
Diagonal ≈ 12.206 in.

Therefore, the diagonal of the iPad 3 is approximately 12.206 inches.
