Question

Television sizes are determined by the length of their diagonal measure. Michael just bought a new television. The height of the television is _38 inches and the length is _50 inches.

Answer 1

Given:

Length of the television = $50$ inches

Height of the television = $38$ inches

To find:

The length of the diagonal measure

Formula used:

$d\;=\;\sqrt{(l^2+w^2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the diagonal ($d$) = $\sqrt{(50^2+38^2)}$

Length of the diagonal ($d$) = $\sqrt{(2500^{}+1444)}$

Length of the diagonal ($d$) = $\sqrt{3944}$ = $62.801$ inches

Answer:

The length of the television's diagonal measure is $62.801$ inch
