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 do you determine diameter of a rectangle?
Well, sweetie, a rectangle doesn't have a diameter because that's a term reserved for circles. If you want to find the dimensions of a rectangle, you measure the length and width, honey. Just grab a measuring tape and get to work, no need to overcomplicate things.
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 find diameter of a rectangle?
Do you mean perimeter? If so....2 x length + 2 x width.
What is the area of a rectangle with a diameter of 8 inches?
This question has no possible answer.Only circles have diameters.Rectangles have "length" and "width".
Where is the width and diameter of a rectangle?
A rectangle is an elongated square. It doesn't have a diameter; only circles have diameters.

How do you calculate the diameter of a rectangle?
A rectangle does not have a diameter, as such, but the diagonal is similar enough. If the sides of a rectangle are x cm and y cm then, using Pythagoras's theorem, the diagonal is sqrt(x2 + y2) cm.
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.
What is the diameter of a 120mm x 330mm rectangle?
A rectangle does not have a diameter but it has diagonals. So using Pythagoras' theorem each diagonal is about 351.141mm in length rounded to 3 decimal places.
How do you ask maths?
Question: In figure, what is the ratio of the areas of a circle and a rectangle if the diagonal of rectangle is equal to diameter of circle.
Does a rectangle have diameter?
NO!!! Diameter refer to circles. A rectamgle has a DIAGONAL.
Which is larger the perimeter of a 2' 4' rectangle or the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 36?
The circumference of the circle is larger than the perimeter of the rectangle.
How do you work out the diameter of a rectangle?
The diameter of a rectangle is the same as its diagonal (angle in a semicircle is a right angle). So the diagonal forms a right angled triangle with the diagonal as the hypotenuse and two sides of the rectangle (a length and a breadth) forming the legs of the triangle. If the lengths of the sides of the rectangle are known, a simple application of Pythagoras's theorem given the measure of the diagonal.
A 3 by 4 rectangle is inscribed in circle. What is the circumference of the circle?
the diagonal of the rectangle will be the diameter of the circle which equals 5 so the circumference will be 5pie or 15.70units.
Diameter of a rectangle?
It is called a diagonal and goes from any vertex to the next-but-one vertex.
