What is the height of a 35-in TV? ____inches

Answer 1

does that include the molding around the screen?  Is it on a pedestal?

Answer 2

That depends on whether it is a wide screen (16:9) or an "old" screen (4:3).

But, since this is your homework, you probably want to apply

a² + b² = c²

c=35, b=28.  You can do the rest.

Answer 3

well tv sets are usually measured diagonally. then that would give you two triangles that are both equilateral, meaning both the base and the height is equal. the base would be 35 therefore the height would also be 35...inches
