I have 60 inches of width and have 48 inches of height in my entertainment center. I am going HDTV shopping, what is the biggest diagonal TV that I can get?
-----------------------
d%5E2+=+60%5E2+%2B+48%5E2
d%5E2+=+5904
d+=+sqrt%285904%29
d = ~76.8 inches (the outside of the TV, not the screen)
And, TVs are not square. If you take into account they have an aspect ratio of 16:9, it will affect the answer.
