A. 14"

B. 18"

C. 37"

D. 50"

Answer 1

The option "C" is correct

#in my opinion#

Explanation:

The size of a screen is generally measured diagonally.

Thus to find the diagonal length,

we take help from Pythagoras theorem

`i.e. \\ {h}^(2) = {b}^(2) + {p}^(2)`

where h (hypotenuse) is the diagonal length, b (base) is the length of horizontal side, and p (perpendicular) is the length of the vertical side of the TV,

THUS the diagonal length or hypotenuse

`h = \sqrt{ {b}^(2) + {p}^(2) } \\ \: = √(1024 + 324) \\ \: = √(1348) \\ \: = 36.7 \: (= aprox \: 37)`
