the size of a rectangular computer screen is determined by the length of its diagonal. tom buys a 52cm screen that is 33 cm high. how Long is the base of the screen?

40.20cm approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

given data

We are told that the dimension of a computer screen

diagonal= 52 cm

height= 33cm

Length = ?

Required

The length of the base of the screen

Step two

Let us use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of the base

Hyp^2= Opp^2+ Adj^2

52^2= 33^2+ L^2

2704= 1089+L^2

L^2= 2704-1089

L^2= 1615

L=√1615

L= 40.20cm approx

The length is 40.20cm approx.

the correct answer is the second option

you first to choose the points and then move from then as the slope you have
