A Chromebook has a screen size diagonally of 14 in. and a width of 12 in What is its height
To find the height of the Chromebook, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let's denote the height of the Chromebook as 'h'.
Using the given information, the width is 12 inches, and the diagonal is 14 inches.
We can set up the following equation:
12^2 + h^2 = 14^2
144 + h^2 = 196
h^2 = 196 - 144
h^2 = 52
To find 'h', we take the square root of both sides:
h = √52
h ≈ 7.21 inches
Therefore, the height of the Chromebook is approximately 7.21 inches.
