Here's what I did, did I fcuk up?

Per Pythagoras, the diagonal of 1440x900 is 1698; the diagonal of 1280x800 is 1509.

1509 / 1698 = .89

.89 * 13.3 inches = 11.8 inches

Alternatively, sqrt(1-21%) = .89 And yeah typo. 21% reduction in pixels



Ahh okay. I was wondering where the 27 came from. Wasn't thinking about the sqrt. Fair enough.
