What does it mean to find the diagonal of a rectangle? Generally, finding the diagonal of a rectangle means to find the length of the rectangle diagonal. In this video we go over how to do just that. We find the diagonal length of a rectangle, and mention the rectangle diagonal formula for finding the length of any generic rectangle diagonal. As you might expect, it uses the Pythagorean Theorem.

Hi! I am trying to solve this question I have in my workbook from school and cant seem to find an answer, It s a rectangle with two quarter circles touching in it and all we have is the radius is 5cm The vertices are opposite and I have to try find the area of the rectangle. I have tried Pythagoras and other things but I can't figure it out! Thanks! We are trying to find the diagnol as e thoght itwoudl help hence how we ended up on your video
@WrathofMath
@WrathofMath Год назад
I'm not sure what you mean when you say the vertices are opposite. Based on my understanding of your problem, we have a rectangle with a quarter circle of radius five on its left side, and this touches a quarter circle of radius five on the right side of the rectangle. The quarter circles touch at the midpoint of the bottom side of the rectangle, and this gives us a base length of 10 and rectangle height of 5, since it is a radius of the quarter circle, Thus, A = 50. But I very well may have misunderstood the problem.

How to find l and b if only diagonal is given?
@WrathofMath
@WrathofMath 3 года назад
By l and b do you mean the sides of the rectangle? There is no way to find a unique solution to that if you only know the diagonal. If we call the diagonal d, and the sides a and b, then for any positive number b, a = sqrt(d^2 - b^2) would work. So there are infinitely many solutions. Does that make sense?

Bru where do you get 16+9 from
@WrathofMath
@WrathofMath 4 года назад
Thanks for watching and 16+9 is coming from the Pythagorean theorem. Recall this theorem states that, in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (where the hypotenuse is the longest side and the legs are the sides that intersect at a right angle). When we draw the diagonal of a rectangle, we split it into two right triangles, that both have the diagonal as their hypotenuse. Thus, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal from the sides of the rectangle - which are the legs of our right triangle. I think typing it out without pictures is a little confusing, but there's not much more I can do than type! In our case, the legs of our right triangle have lengths 3 and 4, thus we square them 3^2 + 4^2, to get 9 + 16, which equals 25 - the square of our hypotenuse (which is the diagonal of the rectangle). Since the square of our diagonal has a length of 25, the diagonal itself must be sqrt(25) = 5. I hope that helps some, but if not I'd recommend watching some other explanations or looking up an explanation on another site that you can read through with pictures - since pictures are vital to these explanations! Additionally, if you want to see a proof of the Pythagorean theorem, I recommend this proof I did while eating insects: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rw-OIl0RHpg.html

@WrathofMath
@WrathofMath 3 года назад
Thanks for watching and can I help clear that up for you? If you followed until that point, then we can just pick up at 25 = c^2. So, we know that c squared is 25, but we want to know c, not c^2, since c is the length of the diagonal. Since we know c squared is 25, to find c we ask "what number, when squared, equals 25?". The answer is 5, because 5^2 = 25. It is also true that (-5)^2 = 25, but we're interested in the positive solution (positive 5) because we assume our lengths have to be non-negative. Thus, since c is the number that, when squared, equals 25, we know c must equal 5.

@@WrathofMath that helps a lot. I am building a 12x16 storage shed and using these calculations my diagonal length is 20 feet which squares the corners. Thanks again.
