Is it possible to connect the ipad to a tv via hdmi

Yes it is. You will need an adapter. They are available through the Apple Store. See this link, https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD826AM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=096cc36abe73a3ec42c907397116ce999d065159cc3177efda203044787e80cb19af09c2d76ba61f84e42d9f25161bcfd4c726563aa6eb2574aa6e7aa99eb37a078aebcc7b33b39d42f013dccff520f3ac5f04617fe27f9ed282f4485ea4ead857059ed56e23358f296537fb39a1a7ee

Yes. You can use a 30pin, Lightning or USB-C adapter depending on the model of iPad:

Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter - Apple

Lightning Digital AV Adapter - Lightning to HDMI - Apple

USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter - Apple

Also, if your TV supports Airplay 2, you can mirror the screen wirelessly: link-> Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror your device’s screen - Apple Support

Scroll down to the section titled "Airplay 2 enabled TVs and devices" here: link-> Apple TV App and Airplay 2 enabled TVs and devices - Devices - Apple

Yes.

But only depending on what iPad year and model you have.

What year and model iPad do you have/own?

The “A” model number can be found on aluminium back of your iPad in small print right under the larger bold print “iPad”.

What iOS/iPadOS version is this iPad, currently, running?

If your iPad is too old, this may not be possible.

Please attempt to answer all questions asked.

Thank You.

As far as I have been aware, Apple stopped selling and stocking this 30-pin adapter many years, ago.

This is true. It's up to them whether they want to try to find one from a third party vendor and see if it works, but the option exists.

Used Original Apple ones can also be found in Ebay. Though again, buyer beware.

If you own a 2011/2012 iPad 2 or 3 model, then you may not be able to purchase the genuine Apple 30-pin to HDMI adapter, any longer.

That adapter has not been stocked/sold by Apple in years.

Also, most third party versions of these adapters, usually found on Amazon, do not work and most are non-working Apple counterfeit products.
