You have a tv that is 24 inches tall by 32 inches wide. What is the length of the diagonal of the tv
( the measure from the bottom left to top right for the tv)
A) 40 inches
B) 1250 inches
C) 56 inches
D) 1600 inches
To find the length of the diagonal of the TV, you can use the Pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c²
In this case, the height (a) is 24 inches, and the width (b) is 32 inches.
24² + 32² = c²
576 + 1024 = c²
1600 = c²
c = √1600
c = 40 inches
Therefore, the length of the diagonal of the TV is 40 inches.
Answer: A) 40 inches
