the size of a television set is determined by the length of the diagonal of the screen. if a 27 inch television screen is 15 inches high what is its length to the nearest inch

Respuesta :

We can solve this using the reverse Pythagorean Theorem because we know the diagonal length (hypotenuse) and the length of one side. You should substitute those numbers in as 27^2-15^2=A^2 which, rounded to the nearest inch, is 23 in.
