C) 20 inches D) 29.2 inches

Respuesta :

Answer: 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a television screen has a length of 15 inches while the diagonal of the TV is 25 inches. To calculate the width, we will use the hypoteneous rule.

Hypotenuse² = length² + width²

25² = 15² + width²

width² = 25² - 15²

width² = 625 - 225

width² = 400

width = ✓400

width = 20

The width of the TV is 20 inches.
