You need to know more...either the angle or the length of one of the sides.

How do you find the area of a rectangle with the diagonal of 13 and a width of 5?

if a rectangle has width of 5 and diagonal with lenght of 13, what is the area of the rectangle? Use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the rectangle which will be 12 5*12 = 60 square units


Can you find the area of a rectangle if the problem doesn't show you the base and height?

The one alternative to find the area of a rectangle is when you are given the length of one diagonal and its slope.


How do you find the area of a rectangle from diagonal and 1 angle?

The diagonal multiplied by sin(angle) gives one side of the rectangle and the diagonal times cos(theta) gives the other. So the area is (diagonal)2 x cos(theta) x sin(theta).


If the diagonal and the area of a rectangle are 25 m and 168 m2 what is the length of the rectangle?

If the diagonal is 25m and the area is 168m2 then the longest edge of the rectangle will be 24m.


How do you find the area of a rectangle when one diagonal is given?

Divide the rectangle in two triangles and then use the pythagorean theorem to find the remaining sides.


The diagonal of the rectangle is 26m and its perimeter is 68m. Find its area?

240 sq m


How do you find the length of rectangle diagonally by using the area given?

You can't. Suppose for instance your rectangle is 1xA, then the diagonal length is sqrt(1+A**2). But if your rectangle is sqrt(A)xsqrt(A) then your diagonal length is sqrt(2*A). The only thing one can say for sure is that the diagonal length is at least sqrt(2*A).


How can you find the area of a rectangle if the given is the perimeter and the diagonal?

First divide the perimeter by 2 then subtract the diagonal from this. The number left with must equal two numbers that when squared and added together equals the diagonal when squared (Pythagoras' theorem) These numbers will then be the length and height of the rectangle.


How do you find the width and length of a rectangle if you only know the diagnol?

If the only known fact is the length of the diagonal then the width and length of the rectangle CANNOT be determined. The diagonal could be that of a square, or of a rectangle that is very long but quite narrow. Consequently at least one more fact is required such as; the dimension of either the length or the width, or the angle that the diagonal makes to the base of the rectangle or even the area of the rectangle.


How do your find the diagonal measurement for 120 by 150?

If they are the dimensions of a rectangle then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the diagonal.


What is the area of a rectangle that has a diagonal of 5 and a height of 3?

15 units2


Width of a rectangle is 6 and the diagonal is 10 what is the area?

A = 48 units2
