Buying a New TV or ComputerWhen you buy a TV, computer monitor, or touch-screen device, the "screen size" is measured as a diagonal line from corner to corner. To find the size of your new screen, you can use Pythagoras’ theorem. In this home-based activity, students will start by measuring their own TVs or device screens with a measuring tape. Then they will use the height and width to find the unknown length of the hypotenuse.In the last step, they will check their answer with a measuring tape
