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.

What is the formula for find out the length of the line which cross a rectangular shape?
Use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle.
A rectangle is 3 meters wide and 10 meters long how long is the diagonal of the rectangle?
To find the length of the diagonal in a rectangle, use the formula for calculating the hypotenuse of a right triangle: a² = b² + c². a² = 3² + 10² a² = 9 + 100 a² = 109 a = 10.44 m
How do your find the diagonal measurement for 120 by 150?

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
How do you count the number of squares crossed by the diagonal in a rectangle?
To find the length of a diagonal in a rectangle, use the Pythagorean method. Diagonal length = square root(length squared + height squared).
How do you find the length of a rectangle knowing ONLY the diagonal and the length?
If by that you mean knowing only the diagonal and the width, then by the formula a2+b2=c2, where a is the length, b the width and c the diagonal. To find the width b, you need to calculate sqrt(c2-a2). For example, the width of a rectangle with length 3 and diameter 5 is sqrt(52-32)=4
