Television is measured by the diagonal. A 55-inch tv has an actual diagonal length of 54.8 inches. Its height is 27 inch Mr. Schlagers entertainment center is 49 inches wide will the tv fit the entertainment center?

47.68 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

As seen in the diagram attached below we can see that the tv is a rectangle. We are given the diagonal and the height which means we have to find the length. Since the tv diagonal forms a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the length. This theorem would be the following.

where a and b are the sides of the triangle and c is the diagonal.

Finally, we can see that the length of the TV is 47.68 inches

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
