You mother wants to put a 65" TV on the mantle in your living room. The space from the mantle to the ceiling is 3 feet. If the width of the TV is 55 and half inches, will it fit? Pick the best answer.

Answer 1

The diagonal length of the TV is 65 and the width is 55.5. You have a right triangle so (65)^2= (55.5)^2 +x^2. Just solve for x and if it is <36 inches it will fit.

I will leave the calculation to you
