Question

Television sizes are based on the length of the diagonal of the television's rectangular screen. So, for example, a 70-inch television is a television having a diagonal screen length of 70 inches. If a 70 inch television's diagonal forms a 29° angle with the base of the screen, what is the vertical height (h) of the screen to the nearest inch

Answer 1

You can solve for \(h\) using the equation
\[\sin29^\circ=\frac{h}{70}\]
