Respuesta :

In this problem the diagonal of the Tv is 19 and the hight is 11 so we can use the pythagorical theorem to find the width (w) so:

[tex]19^2=11^2+w^2[/tex]

and we solve for w so

[tex]\begin{gathered} w^2=19^2-11^2 \\ w=\sqrt[]{361-121} \\ w=\sqrt[]{240} \\ w=15.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]
