Best Answer

Since a diagonal divides a rectangle into two triangles, this is actually a problem in trigonometery. Since a rectangle has right angles, the resulting triangles also have right angles, therefore you can apply the Pythagorean Theorem. Or, just take your ruler and measure the diagonal. That's the direct approach.
