PLEASE HELP

Your friend is looking at laptops for
college, and is comparing the different
screen sizes. If a laptop has a height of 6
in and a diagonal of 17.5 in, use the
formula below to find the width of the
laptop screen. Round your answer to the
nearest tenths place

Answer 1

17.5 = √6² + w²

17.5² = 36 + w²

306.25 = 36 + w²

270.25 = w²

√270.25 = w

16.4392822 = W

=  w = 16.44 in
