Javier bought a new television for his apartment. It is 40 in wide and 30 in tall. Find the diagonal length of the television. asnswer in in

Answer 1

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.
