Rick purchased a rectangular computer monitor that measures 13 inches tall by 22 inches wide. He wants to know the diagonal measure of the monitor. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch. (Do NOT type in any letters for your answers- just type in the numbers)
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the diagonal measure, which is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 13 inches and 22 inches.
Diagonal = √(13² + 22²) = √(169 + 484) = √653 ≈ 25.5
Therefore, the diagonal measure of the monitor is approximately 25.5 inches.
