Windows 10: Why is the calculator suddenly full screen? It is not helpful while working on a document!

I cannot find a way to shrink the calculator to the size I used it recently. With full screen it often hides what I need to see.

How to calculate your video screen area

Often it is very helpful to compare the area of a video monitor's display. For example, if you go from a 22" to a 24" screen, how much bigger is that in terms of total area.

The calculation requires several steps and application of the Pythagorean Theorem, but it is all basic algebra. I have a spreadsheet set up on Google docs so I can access this information whenever I need to.

Here are the steps I use in my spreadsheet to do the calculation. Each step corresponds to a column as you will see in the screen shot at the end.

Methodology:

First you need to know the aspect ratio. This will usually be 16:9 but in some cases might be 16:10.

The aspect ratio tells us the relative values of the width and height since it is basically saying that for every 16 units of width, there will be 9 units of height.

However you can't directly compare the absolute values of the aspect ration which has no units of measurement associated with it to the measurement of the diagonal which does. You can however compare the relative ratios.


Calculations:

So, using the Pythagorean Theorem, you know that if you add the squares of the width (16) and height (9), you will get the value of the hypotenuse (diagonal) squared. For a ratio of 16:9, 16^2 + 9^2 = 337. The square root of this is about 18.4.

In other words, when the width is 16 units and the height is 9 units, the diagonal will be 18.4 units.

Since 2 screens with the same aspect ratio will always have the same ratios between their diagonals, height and width, it's easy now to calculate the precise dimensions based on the length of the diagonal.

First, calculate the ratio of the diagonal in inches (or other unit of measurement) to the aspect ratio diagonal - which in the case of an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a 22" screen will be 22/18.4 = 1.198

Now, use this number, 1.198, to directly calculate the the height and width in inches.

So the width will be 16 x 1.198 = 19.17. And the height will be 9 x 1.198 = 10.78.

Finally, multiply the height in inches by the width in inches to get the area in square inches. In this case the area of a screen with a 22" diagonal will be 19.17 x 10.78 = 206.8 sq. in.

As you can see, the calculations do involve a few steps but are not at all difficult to do.

Example:
Here is how I have my spreadsheet set up.





Let me know if I have made any serious errors. I have checked the calculations against a few monitors and they seem to work. Thanks

 

URGENT HELP NEEDED! HDD suddenly became blank!

Hey there, @Shamonto Hasan Easha!

I'd try re-plugging the hard drive and checking if the cable is damaged. I'd also suggest to try plugging the drive in another computer and see if it gets recognized properly there. Is it a IDE or SATA drive you're using?
If the drive is unallocated, this means that the partition has been lost after the power went down.
Check out this thread for more ideas on how to solve the issue. There are some detailed steps there that might be useful for you:

Hope this helped.
