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.

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.
Does a rectangle have diameter?
NO!!! Diameter refer to circles. A rectamgle has a DIAGONAL.
How do you derive of surface area of cylinder?
The surface area of a cylinder can be derived from the area of rectangle. If you 'unroll' a cylinder you have a shape of a rectangle, similar to a sheet of paper. The width of the rectangle will be the height of the cylinder and the length of the rectangle will be the circumference of the cylinder end.So, Area = length * widthwhere, width = height of cylinder & length = circumference of cylinder end = PI*(Diameter of cylinder)Therefore,surface area of a cylinder = (PI)*(diameter of cylinder)*(height of cylinder)Hope that helps!
What is the dimension of a rectangle of 14 units?
The question cannot be answered. First, there is no information as to which measure of the rectangle is 14 units: a diameter, the perimeter, the area. Second, the answer to the question above does not provide sufficient information to answer the question.
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle with a semi circle attached to it?
add the perimeter of the rectangle, minus the side that'c covered by the semi circle. then, find the circumference of the semi circle [diameter x pi, divided by 2] and addd them together
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
