Answer:

[tex]W=21\ in[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The diagonal of a rectangular poster board is given by the Pythagorean Theorem

[tex]D^2=L^2+W^2[/tex]

where

D is the diagonal

L is the length

W is the width

we have

[tex]L=28\ in\\D=35\ in[/tex]

substitute the given values

[tex]35^2=28^2+W^2[/tex]

[tex]W^2=35^2-28^2[/tex]

[tex]W^2=441[/tex]

[tex]W=\sqrt{441}=21\ in[/tex]
