ReneTo determine the diameter of a rectangle, you first need to know the length and width of the rectangle. The diameter of a rectangle is the diagonal distance across the rectangle, connecting opposite corners. You can use the Pythagorean theorem (d^2 = l^2 + w^2) to calculate the diameter, where d is the diameter, l is the length, and w is the width of the rectangle.

How do you determine the radius if you only have the diameter?
to determine the radius if you only have the diameter, you divided the diameter by 2. then there you have it ! you have the radius !
Can you fit a rectangle 21.5x 24 in a 27 diameter circle?
No. The diagonal of the rectangle is a little over 32.2, and nothing that long can fit into a circle with a diameter of 27.
Is it possible to circumscribe a 90 degree angle rectangle?
Yes and the diameter of the circle will be the diagonal of the rectangle.
How do you get the diameter of a rectangle?
A rectangle does not have a diameter, only circles or similar obects have diameters. A rectangle has a diagonal which is obtained by joining two opposite corners. Any two adjacent sides of the rectangle together with the diagonal form a right angled triangle and so the length of the diagonal can be derived using Pythagoras's theorem.
How would you determine if a rectangle has a 90 degree right angle?
By definitions: two levels of them. If it is has a right angle, it must be 90 degrees. If it is a rectangle it must have right angles, otherwise it is not a rectangle.
