Formulas

Our aspect ratio calculator utilizes the following formulas to help you determine various dimensions of your display:

Aspect Ratio:

aspect ratio = width : height (reduced to lowest terms)

Diagonal Length in Pixels:

diagonal = √(width^2 + height^2)

PPI (Pixels per Inch):

PPI = diagonal in pixels / diagonal in inches

PPI (Pixels per Inch):

PPI = √(Pixel Width^2 + Pixel Height^2) / Diagonal Length

PPI^2 (Pixels per Square Inch):

PPI = √(Pixel Width^2 + Pixel Height^2) / Diagonal Length
or
PPI^2 = PPI × PPI

PPcm^2 (Pixels per Square Centimeter):

PPcm^2 = PPcm × PPcm
