What is the formula to find the diagonal of a rectangle?
The diagonal of a rectangle is the third and longest side of a triangle with sides the same as those of the rectangle, so its length is the square root of the sum of the squares of the lengths of the sides of the triangle, (Pythoagoras' Theorem) which are also the sides of the rectangle. If the rectangle is 3 inches by 4 inches, then the diagonal is the square root of 3 squared (= 9) and 4 squared (= 16) so the diagonal is the square root of 16 + 9 = 25, giving it the length of 5 inches.
How do you calculate the diameter of a rectangle?
A rectangle does not have a diameter, as such, but the diagonal is similar enough. If the sides of a rectangle are x cm and y cm then, using Pythagoras's theorem, the diagonal is sqrt(x2 + y2) cm.
Are diagonals of equal length in a parallelogram and rectangle?
the diagonal in a paralleogram is not equal but the diagonals in the rectangle are congruent this is because the opposite sides of a parallelogram and rectangle are same parallel to each other but the adjacent sides of a parallelogram is not perpendicular where as the adjacent sides of rectangle is perpendicular to each other.
How many sides does a rectangle polygon have?
A rectangle has _____ sides.
How what are the dimensions of a rectangle if a diagonal line from corner to corner is 100 inches?
Missing information. The rectangle could be a square then the two sides would be the square root of 5000 or about 70.71. As the rectangle gets longer the sides change and thus the dimensions.
