Use the Pythagorean Theorem (a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse) and then you will know the base of the rectangle (which would be a or b, depending on which you use). Then you can multiply the base and height to find the area of the rectangle!

What is the area of a rectangle with a diagonal of 39 and a height of 15?
Using Pythagoras its base works out as 36 and so 36*15 = 540 square units
The area of rectangle?
Rectangle area = (rectangle width) x (rectangle height)
What is the Formula for area of rectangle using diagonal length?
Let a, b, and c be the width, height, and diagonal of the rectangle.Pythagorus' theorem applies to the rectangle as follows: a^2 + b^2 = c^2substitute for 'a' from Pythagoruss theroem: a = sqrt(c^2 - b^2)Therefore, Area = a * b = b * sqrt(c^2 - b^2)
Which formula for the area of a parallogram is similar to a rectangle circle triangle ellipse or trapezoid?
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
