The diagonal of a TV is 42 inches. The base is 38 inches wide. How tall is the Tv? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Put your answer in the box. EX: 10

20.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal measure of a rectangular TV screen is 42 inches. The width of the screen is 36.6 inches.

The diagonal , width and height forms a right angle triangle

So we apply pythagorean theorem

Diagonal is the hypotenuse

LEt the height of the screen is 'h'

c^2= a^2 + b^2

42^2= 36.6^2 + h^2

Subtract 36.6^2 from both sides

h^2 = 424.44

Take square root on both sides

h=20.60194

Round to nearest tenth

Height of the screen = 20.6 inches
