Question

A certain television is advertised as a 25-inch TV (the diagonal length). If the width of

the TV is 24 inches, how many inches tall is the TV?

Answer 1

Explanation:

I think 600 inches

That is multiplying the 25 by the 24 inches length

Answer 2

The TV is 7 inches tall.

Explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem.

`a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\24^2 + b^2 = 25^2\\576 + b^2 = 625\\b^2 = 49\\b = 7`
