To find the new diagonal measurement, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Let's assume that the original TV has a width of "w" inches and a height of "h" inches. Therefore, the diagonal measurement is given by the formula √(w^2 + h^2).

Now, the new dimensions of the TV are 3 inches wider and 5 inches higher. This means the new width is (w + 3) inches and the new height is (h + 5) inches.

By substituting the new dimensions into the formula, we get:

New diagonal = √((w + 3)^2 + (h + 5)^2)

Simplifying the equation further, we have:

New diagonal = √(w^2 + 6w + 9 + h^2 + 10h + 25)

New diagonal = √(w^2 + h^2 + 6w + 10h + 34)

Therefore, the new diagonal measurement is √(w^2 + h^2 + 6w + 10h + 34).
