x^= 12^+5^
x^= 169
The solution is x= 13. So the long tail is 13 meters.
There is nothing wrong with the second question, which is 58cm long and 46cm wide. Imagine the TV as a rectangle and set the diagonal length to xcm. According to Pythagorean theorem. x^=58^+46^
x^=5480
X is about 74.
I hope I can help you.
