Extension work and Homework task
If you have completed the first 2 tasks then begin your research for your homework task.
go to google and search for 'tv size dimensions' and then look at images.

Do you see the link?
For homework I want you to meausre your TV screen or even a computer screen and give me its diagonal dimension.
Firstly, I want you to measure the sides then calculate the hypotenuse.
