The TV is 45 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonal length of television = 53 inches
Width of TV = 28 inches
As TV is in rectangular or square shape, a diagonal will form a right triangle
Where,
Diagonal = hypotenuse = c = 53 inches
Width = base = b = 28 inches
Length = perpendicular = a
we will use pythagorean theorem to find the length.
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\a^2+(28)^2=(53)^2\\a^2+784=2809\\a^2=2809-784\\a^2=2025[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides
[tex]\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{2025}\\a=45[/tex]
The TV is 45 inches tall.
