The correct equation to calculate the height (h) of the screen with a diagonal size of 1000 pixels and width of 800 pixels is
\(h^2 - 360,000 = 0\). (option B)

To calculate the height (h) of the screen, we can use the Pythagorean theorem since the screen is rectangular. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b). In this case, the diagonal of the screen is the hypotenuse, and the width and height are the other two sides.

The Pythagorean theorem is given by:


\[c^2 = a^2 + b^2\]

In the context of the screen:


\[h^2 = 1000^2 - 800^2\]

Now, let's simplify this equation:


\[h^2 = 1,000,000 - 640,000\]\[h^2 = 360,000\]

Therefore, the correct equation is:


\[h^2 - 360,000 = 0\]

Let's check option B:


\[h^2 - 200 * 1800 = 0\]

This equation can be simplified to:


\[h^2 - 360,000 = 0\]

So, indeed, option B is correct.

The complete question is:

Amit is designing a web page for a display on a screen whose size is 1000 pixels. The width of the screen is 800 pixels.

Which of the following equation can be used to calculate the height (h) of the screen?

A. h ^ 2 + 200 * 1800 = 0

B. h ^ 2 - 200 * 1800 = 0

C. h ^ 2 - 200 = 0

D. h ^ 2 - 1800 = 0
