1 answer

To find the length of the diagonal of the TV, you can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c²

In this case, the height (a) is 24 inches, and the width (b) is 32 inches.

24² + 32² = c²
576 + 1024 = c²
1600 = c²
c = √1600
c = 40 inches

Therefore, the length of the diagonal of the TV is 40 inches.

Answer: A) 40 inches
