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

How do you find the area of a rectangle with the diagonal of 13 and a width of 5?
if a rectangle has width of 5 and diagonal with lenght of 13, what is the area of the rectangle? Use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the rectangle which will be 12 5*12 = 60 square units
A rectangle is 4 ft by 6ft What is the length of the diagonal of the rectangle?
To find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, the diagonal forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the sides being the length and width of the rectangle. So, the diagonal (d) can be calculated as d = √(4^2 + 6^2) = √(16 + 36) = √52 ≈ 7.21 feet.
How do you find the distance from corner to corner on a rectangle?
Diagonal of a rectangle or square = square root of ( length2 + width2 )
A rectangle is 6 m wide and 11m longHow long is the diagonal of the rectangle?
The diagonal would be 12.53 meters.
A rectangle is 3 meters wide and 10 meters long how long is the diagonal of the rectangle?
To find the length of the diagonal in a rectangle, use the formula for calculating the hypotenuse of a right triangle: a² = b² + c². a² = 3² + 10² a² = 9 + 100 a² = 109 a = 10.44 m
