What is Diagonal of a Rectangle?

A diagonal cuts a rectangle into 2 right triangles. In which the sides equal to the sides of the rectangle and with a hypotenuse. That hypotenuse is diagonal.

The length of the diagonal of the Rectangle is found using the following formula :

Diagonal of Rectangle = √(l² + w²)

Here, "l" stands for Length of the rectangle and "w" stands for the width of the rectangle.

The diagonal of a rectangle calculator uses the same formula to calculate the length of the diagonal of the rectangle.

Solved Example :

Find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle whose length is 4 units and width is 3 units.

Solution :

Length of the Rectangle = 4 units

Width of the Rectangle = 3 units

Substituting the values of length and width in the formula, we get,

Diagonal = √(l² + w²)

= √(4² + 3²)

= √(25²).

= 5 units.

∴ Length of the diagonal of the rectangle = 5 units.

Now use the calculator to find the length of the diagonal for the following rectangles with

Length = 8 units Width = 6 units
Length = 6 units Width = 8 units
