To find the height of the TV, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let the height be h inches.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
h^2 + 49^2 = 59^2
h^2 + 2401 = 3481
h^2 = 3481 - 2401
h^2 = 1080
h = √1080
h ≈ 32.8
Rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, the height of the TV is 32.8 inches. Answer: \boxed{32.8}.
