It's 20cm high, and 13.5cm wide. Cut out a piece of paper that size and you'll be able to compare it to your books.

The screen has a 20cm diagonal measurement, and an aspect ratio of 4:3. Pythagoras's theorem will give you the width and height.

If you have a scientific calculator then this is easier:

Width = 20*cos(atan(4/3))
Height = 20*cos(atan(3/4))

You don't need a calculator of any kind!

A right-angled triangle with sides of 3 units and 4 units has a hypotenuse of 5 units. Therefore:

Width = 20 x 3/5 = 12cm
Height = 20 x 4/5 = 16cm

If you want to compare a bunch of different screen sizes look at Screen sizes in our wiki for all of them you are likely to need.
