This depends on
a) the screen ratio - is it 4:3 or the more modern 16:9
b) what exactly the 50 inches measures - is it the 'base' of the set, or of the screen?
If it is the base of the set, then we don't have enough data.
If it is the base of the screen then
the diagonal is found by the right-angled triangle formula Diagonal2 = Height2 plus Width2
If the ratio is 4:3 then the Height is 3/4(50) = 37.5 and the Width is 50
Squaring both of those we get
Diagonal2 = 1406.25 + 2500 = 3906.25 and the square root of that is 62.5
If the ratio is 16:9 then the Height is 9/16(50) = 28.125 and the Width is 50
Squaring both of those we get
Diagonal2 = approx 791 + 2500 = approx 3,291 and the square root of that is 57.4
