A diagonal has no shape, it is a straight line between the angles of a multi-sided figure.

The diagonal of a rectangle can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem, since the diagonal is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the sides of the figure. It is the square root of the sum of the squares of the two sides. Finding the diagonal of a parallelogram would require some knowledge of trig., e.g. the law of cosines, or something equivalent.
You solve diagonals by finding the two perpendicular bases. You do the Pythagorean theorem to find them out.The diagonal of a rectangle can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem, sincethe diagonal is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the sides of thefigure.

Well, honey, let me drop some knowledge on you. In a rectangle, the diagonals are indeed longer than the sides, thanks to good ol' Pythagoras and his theorem. But in a square, the diagonals are the same length as the sides because all sides are equal. So, it really depends on the shape you're working with.
Ah, what a lovely question! To find the diagonal measurement of a square, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. So, for a square that is 24 feet by 24 feet, we can use the formula diagonal = √(side length squared + side length squared). Plugging in the values, we get diagonal = √(24^2 + 24^2) = √(576 + 576) = √1152 ≈ 33.94 feet.
Oh, dude, I mean, like, sure, whatever, the area of the square is 2500 square meters, so the side length is the square root of that, which is 50 meters. And if you wanna find the diagonal, just use some Pythagoras magic, so it's 50√2 meters. Easy peasy, right?
