Angelica won an iPad in an office raffle the iPad screen measures 12 inches in length and 9 inches in width find the diagonal of the ipad screen
To find the diagonal of the iPad screen, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this case, the length and width of the iPad screen form the two sides of a right triangle. So, using the Pythagorean theorem:
Diagonal^2 = Length^2 + Width^2
Diagonal^2 = 12^2 + 9^2
Diagonal^2 = 144 + 81
Diagonal^2 = 225
To find the diagonal, we take the square root of both sides of the equation:
Diagonal = √225
Diagonal = 15
Therefore, the diagonal of the iPad screen is 15 inches.
