The size of a monitor is determined by the length of its diagonal. You want to buy a 19 inch monitor with a height of 11inches. What is the width of this monitor? Express your answer to the nearest tenth.XSubmINTL1217K

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]
