Answer:

The TV is 3 inches tall.

$3\text{ inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the width of the TV is

$4\text{ inches}$

And the TV is 5 inch TV, which means its diagonal is;

$d=5\text{ inches}$

The height of the TV can be calculated using the Pythagoras Theorem;

$\begin{gathered} c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ b=\sqrt[]{c^2-a^2} \end{gathered}$

substituting the diagonal and the width;

$\begin{gathered} b=\sqrt[]{5^2-4^2} \\ b=\sqrt[]{25-16} \\ b=\sqrt[]{9} \\ b=3\text{ inches} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the TV is 3 inches tall.

$3\text{ inches}$
