The easiest way to calculate a diagnol is with the pythagorean theorem if A is the length of the hypotenuse, and B and C are the legs of a right triangle:
A = (B^2+C^2)^.5
If you are given certain angle(s) and and a side length, you can use trigonometry to find a diagnol.
Note: correct spelling is D I A G O N A L.

How do you calculate the sides of a parallelogram given the height and longer diagonal?
The height and longer diagonal do not provide enough information to calculate the sides.
How do you calculate dimensions of a rectangle when given diagonal?
You don't - you need additional information. Many different rectangles can have the same diagonal. If you know the diagonal and one side (which must be LESS than the diagonal), you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate the other side.
How do you calculate the perimeter of a diagonal?
You add all the distances of the perimiter
How to calculate diagonal of square?
If the length of a side of the square is S units then the diagonal is S*sqrt(2) units in length.
Calculate the length of the diagonal of a square with sides of 6 cm?
To calculate the diagonal, use the Pythagorean Theorem.6^2 + 6^2 = x^236 + 36 = x^272 = x^2sqrt72 = xx = 8.485.....
