Answer:
36.3
Step-by-step explanation:
I tried using the Pythagorean Theorem to measure the length (tallness) of the TV.
[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]
[tex]a^2 + (40)^2 = (54)^2[/tex]
[tex]a^2 + 1600 = 2916[/tex]
[tex]a^2 = 2916-1600 = 1316[/tex]
[tex]a = \sqrt{1316}[/tex]
[tex]a = 36.27671429[/tex]
When this is rounded up to the nearest tenth, it would go up to 36.3.
So, the length (tallness) of the TV would be 36.3 inches.
