The diagonal measure of a movie screen is 6m. The length of the screen is 2 m greater than the height. Find the dimensions of the screen.

Answer 1

We have a rectangular shape screen and we will use the Pythgorean Theorem to find the dimensions.

The right triangle we have is with dimensions X, X + 2, and hypothenuse 6...

X² + (X + 2)² = 6²

Solving the quadratic using a calculator X = 3.12 ( height) , Length = 5.12
