By the Pythagorean Theorem, the diagonal is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the diagonal and the two included sides.

c2 = a2 + b2 so the diagonal is the square root of the sum of the squares of the rectangle's length and width.

Example : for a rectangle 4 x 3, the diagonal is sqrt(32 + 42) = sqrt (25) = 5

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
