A 30 inch TV set has a width of 24 inches. What is its height?

5 answers

Use this formula for finding the height and width of a triangle when you know the hypotenuse. Let a = the height.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 24^2 = 30^2
a^2 + 576 = 900
a^2 = 324
a = ?
324 divided by sqrt is 18?
Yep! 18 is correct.
