Answer: OPTION B.

Explanation:

Given the formula:


d=√(w^2+h^2)

We need to solve for "h":


d^2=(√(w^2+h^2))^2\\\\d^2=w^2+h^2\\\\d^2-w^2=h^2\\\\h=√(d^2-w^2)

In this case we can identify in the figure that:


d=13.3in\\w=11.3in

Therefore, substituting values, we get that the height of the laptop screen (rounded to the nearest tenth) is:


h=√((13.3in)^2-(11.3in)^2)\\\\h=7.0in

For this case we apply the Pythagorean theorem, clearing the height we have:


h = \sqrt {d ^ 2-w ^ 2}

According to the data we have:


d = 13.3 \ in\\w = 11.3 \ in

Substituting:


h = \sqrt {(13.3) ^ 2- (11.3) ^ 2}\\h = \sqrt {176.89-127.69}\\h = \sqrt {49.2}\\h = 7.014

We round and we have the height is
7.0 \ in

Option B
