To find the diagonal length of the television, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let's call the diagonal length "d".
According to the Pythagorean theorem, in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the diagonal in this case) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
So, we have:
d^2 = 40^2 + 30^2
d^2 = 1600 + 900
d^2 = 2500
To find the value of "d", we take the square root of both sides of the equation:
d = √2500
d = 50
Therefore, the diagonal length of the television is 50 inches.
