The size of a laptop monitor is usually measured along the diagonal. A rectangular monitor is 12 inches long and 7 inches tall. What is the length of the diagonal of this monitor, to the nearest tenth of an inch? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.

Respuesta :

14. 

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + 7^2 = c^2
144 + 49 =c^2
193 = c^2
c= 13.89 
14

The length of the diagonal of this monitor, to the nearest tenth of an inch, would be 14.

What is Pythagoras Theorem?

If ABC is a triangle with AC as the hypotenuse and angle B with 90 degrees then we have:

[tex]|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2[/tex]

where |AB| = length of line segment AB. (AB and BC are rest of the two sides of that triangle ABC, AC being the hypotenuse).

The size of a laptop monitor is usually measured along the diagonal. A rectangular monitor is 12 inches long and 7 inches tall.

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\12^2 + 7^2 = c^2\\144 + 49 =c^2\\193 = c^2\\c= 13.89 14[/tex]
