Ah, the diagonal of a 24 by 36 foot building is like a happy little pathway stretching from one corner to the opposite corner. To find it, we can use a simple formula from our painting palette called the Pythagorean theorem. Just square the length (24) and the width (36), add them together, and then take the square root to reveal the diagonal, which in this case would be 43.2 feet. Just imagine that diagonal as a lovely stream flowing through your painting, bringing balance and harmony to your composition.

Pythagoras told us that the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides. If you draw a line from corner to opposite corner of your building you divide the floor into two triangles with the same length sides and the hypotenuse is the diagonal of the building. So, taking one of the two triangles the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the square root of 242 + 362 which is 43.27
