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.
