Answer:
23.5"
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached a sketch of the television
the size of a television is described by the length of its diagonal in inches.
in this case, the diagonal of the television is 48"
we are told that the aspect ratio is 16:9
hence the dimension of the television as seen from the draft is
length= 16x
height=9x
Applying Pythagoras theorem
(16x)^2+(9x)^2= 48^2
256x^2+81x^2=2304
337x^2=2304
divide both sides by 337 we have
x^2=2304/337
x^2=6.8367
x=√6.8367
x=2.6
What is the height
H=9x
=9(2.6)
=23.5"
