Understanding Rectangle Diagonals
In geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. The diagonal of a rectangle is a line segment joining opposite vertices. Calculating the diagonal is a common problem in geometry and has practical applications in construction, design, and more. The formula to find the diagonal (d) of a rectangle with length (l) and width (w) is derived from the Pythagorean theorem: d = √(l² + w²). This tool helps you quickly compute this value and visualize the rectangle.
- Pythagorean Theorem: The basis for diagonal calculation.
- Applications: Used in various fields like architecture and engineering.
