The one alternative to find the area of a rectangle is when you are given the length of one diagonal and its slope.
No because two lines with the same slope but with different y intercepts are parallel lines. Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles.
To find the slope you need to find the Y-Intercept (the line that crosses through the Y-Axis) then on the Y-Intercept move one unit to the right and go either up or down until you've hit the diagonal line.

Slope is found by calculating rise over run. It represents the steepness of a line and the line's direction. The higher the absolute value of the slope, the more the line's steepness increases, and vice versa. If the slope is positive, the line is diagonal upwards to the right ( / ). If the slope is negative, the line is diagonal downwards to the right ( \ ). If the slope is zero, the line is horizontal. If it is "undefined", the line is a vertical line.

You can use slope to measure the diagonals. If the product of their slopes is -1 then they are perpendicular.Draw a square. Note the coordinates for the corners. For instance, my corners are (0,0), (1,0), (1,1), and (0,1). Consider each diagonal (0,0)-(1,1) and (1,0)-(0,1)Recall that the slope of a line is delta y over delta x. The slope of the first diagonal is 1, while the slope of the second diagonal is -1. 1 times -1 is -1, which means that the diagonals are perpendicular.Note: This works for any square, except where one of the diagonals has infinite slope, i.e. a vertical line. In that case, you can simply state that one diagonal has infinite slope and the other diagonal has zero slope. The math does not work, because this proof is based on Cartesian coordinates. You can make it work by converting to polar coordinates and comparing the two thetas. They should have a relationship where the absolute value of theta 1 minus theta 2 is equal to pi.
Terracing is the process by which a hillside is converted by humans from a diagonal slope to a stepped slope. This provides flat areas that can be farmed more easily than on the slope. Terrace cropping is another term for farming on terraces.
If they are the dimensions of a rectangle then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the diagonal.
A perpendicular can have from none to three perpendiculars.
Divide the length of the diagonal of a square by 1.4142 (which is the square root of 2) to find the length of a side. Similarly, to find the length of the diagonal of a square, multiply the length of a side by 1.4142.
The slope can be a fraction.
