minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-21 day agoFurther complicating this is that the screen is curved. So… they’d have to take a tailors tape, from one diagonal to another, also pressing it into the screen, being careful not to damage it. Either that or take a width heght and depth measurent and do a bit of trig.
minus-squarefrank@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoYeah, measuring the arc of the curved width using the width and sagitta is a little tricky, too, but totally doable with trig. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta_(geometry)?wprov=sfla1 The wiki main image suggests to me, a mere math casual, that you might even need one more piece of information than just s and l?
