How to Calculate the Size of a Screen
Updated July 9, 2022
We measure the size of screens by their diagonal length.
We use the diagonal length to account for any aspect ratio because it takes into account both the horizontal and vertical lengths .
To measure a diagonal we can apply the distance formula.
6.0² + 9.0² = 10.8²
aspect ratio = 2:3
aspect ratio = 2:3
