36 inches
Work Step by Step
The height and width of a television form the legs of a right triangle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse. Let d be the diagonal measurement.
$d^2=20^2+30^2$
Simplify.
$d^2=400+900$
$d^2=1300$
Take the square root of each side.
$\sqrt{d^2}=\sqrt{1300}$
Simplify and round.
$d\approx36$
