Answer:

18 inches, assuming that the height is the length of the TV screen.

Explanation:

First off, the shape of a TV screen is a rectangle.

To get the area of a rectangle, the equation would be:

H * W = A

where H = height, W = Width, and A = area.

If we pluck in the values given in the question, we get:

H * 32 = 576

To find out H, we have to get rid of the 32.

To do that, we divide both sides by 32.

Therefore, the equation is now:

H = 18.

Thus, the height of the TV screen is 18 inches.
