Question

The Dimensions of the lap top screen are 15 inches and 8 inches. What is the diagonal of the laptop screen in inches?

A. 23 in.
B. 12.69 in.
C. 17 in.
D. 7 in.

Answer 1

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the diagonal of the laptop screen as follows:

diagonal² = length² + width²

diagonal² = 15² + 8²

diagonal² = 225 + 64

diagonal² = 289

diagonal = √289

diagonal = 17

Therefore, the diagonal of the laptop screen is 17 inches, so the answer is (C) 17 in.
