What are the actual dimensions of the viewable screen for some of the classic 19inch games.
and
How can you figure out what other televisions are also. Like a 27 inch or 36 inch. Doesn't it have to do with the aspect ratio?

The dimensions can obtained using the Pythagorean theorem and the aspect ratio is 4:3.
A Squared + B Squared = C squared
Therefore, if you know C, which you do (19") and you know that the aspect ratio is 4 to 3, you can figure out all dimensions of any normal CRT screen.
