The angle between diagonal and breadth of a rectangle is the acute angle formed between the diagonal and the shorter side (breadth) of the rectangle. This angle helps in understanding the geometric properties and proportions of the rectangle.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula uses the inverse cosine function to calculate the angle based on the ratio of breadth to the diameter of the circumcircle.
Details: Calculating this angle is important in geometry, engineering, and design applications where precise angular relationships in rectangular shapes are required.
Tips: Enter the breadth and diameter values in meters. Both values must be positive, and the breadth cannot exceed the diameter.
Q1: Why use the circumcircle diameter in this calculation?
A: The diameter of the circumcircle equals the diagonal of the rectangle, making it a fundamental measurement for angle calculations.
Q2: What is the range of possible values for this angle?
A: The angle ranges from 0° to 90°, where 0° would indicate zero breadth and 90° would indicate the diagonal is perpendicular to the breadth.
Q3: Can this calculator handle different units?
A: The calculator uses meters as the default unit, but any consistent unit system can be used as long as both inputs are in the same units.
Q4: What if the breadth is greater than the diameter?
A: This is geometrically impossible in a rectangle, as the diagonal (equal to diameter) must be the longest side.
Q5: How accurate is the calculation?
A: The calculation uses precise trigonometric functions and provides results with high accuracy up to 6 decimal places.
