The diagonal of a rectangle
The diagonal of a rectangle is a line segment that connects two opposite corners or vertices of the rectangle.
A diagonal is a measure from a vertex to the opposite side, passing through the opposite corner.
Diagonal of Rectangle formula
The formula for calculating the diagonal (d) of a rectangle
d = √(a²+b²)
- d = Diagonal of a rectangle
- a = width of a rectangle
- b = Length of a rectangle
How to calculate the diagonal of a rectangle?
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- First, Determine the length of a rectangle
- Next, Determine the width of a rectangle
- Next, Square each of the side lengths: a² and b²
- Next, Add the squared values together: a²+b²
- finally, Take the square root of the sum to find the length of the diagonal:d = √(a²+b²)
Solved Example.
Example. 1: The length of the rectangle is 30 metres and the breadth is 40 metres then find the diagonal of the rectangle.
Given values, length = 30 mt, breadth = 40 mt
Diagonal of a rectangle = √(length² + breadth²) = √(40² + 30²) = 50 metres
Example. 2: The length of the rectangle is 20 metres and the breadth is 70 metres then find the diagonal of the rectangle.
Diagonal of a rectangle = √(length² + breadth²) = √(20² + 70²) = 72.801 metres
