How were your holidays? Your school vacation? Mine was good. I surprised my family with this HDTV, which I wrapped and hung on our wall. The size of an HDTV is determined by the length of its diagonal. What size HDTV could this be? Knowing that HDTV dimensions follow a 16:9 ratio (L & W), do you think this could be an HDTV? No scale is provided, how can you make your own? Note: This task can be solved with or without the use of the Pythagorean Theorem.
