Question

Joshua won a laptop in a school raffle. The laptop screen measures 10 inches in height and
24 inches in width. Find the diagonal length of the laptop screen.​

Answer 1

Before, finding the answer. Let's find out how we can find the answer.

• In this question, we have to find the Diagonal of the Laptop screen.
• So, to find the Diagonal Screen, we have to use the Pythagorean theorem which is :

$\boxed{ \sf Pythagorean \: Theorem = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} }$

• By using this formula, we can find the Diagonal of the Laptop.

Given :

• Height = 10 inches
• Width = 24 inches

To find :

• the diagonal

Solution :

For finding the diagonal,

${ \sf Pythagorean \: Theorem = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} }$

                                 ${ \sf = \sqrt{10^2 + 24^2} }$

                                 ${ \sf = \sqrt{100 +576} }$

                                 ${ \sf = \sqrt{676} }$

                                 $\sf = 26$

Therefore, the Diagonal of the Laptop is 26 inches.
