Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, Bruh, 30" is not prime prime. That's 30 inches.

The base of the TV is 32. This is because A^2+B^2=C^2. 24 is A, 40 is C, and the base is B.

So that means that is we take 24^2 and the base^2, we should get 40^2. 40^2 is 1600. 24 squared is 576. So if we take the base and square it and add 576, we should get 1600. Or we could just take 1600 and subtract 576.

1600-576=1024.

So now, the root of 1024 is the base. Which is 32. Hope that helped.

Answer:

Explanation:

length² + width² = diagonal²

24² + width² = 40²

576 + width² = 1600

width² = 1600 - 576

width² = 1024

width = √1024 = √32*32

width = 32"

Width of the TV is more than 30"
