Area of Rectangle Formula:
| From: | To: |
The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the diagonal length and the angle between the diagonal and the breadth. This formula provides an alternative method to the traditional length × width calculation.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula utilizes trigonometric relationships between the diagonal, angle, and sides of the rectangle to calculate the area.
Details: Calculating the area of rectangles is fundamental in geometry, architecture, engineering, and various practical applications involving rectangular surfaces and spaces.
Tips: Enter the diagonal length in meters and the angle in degrees between the diagonal and breadth. The angle must be between 0° and 90°.
Q1: Why use this formula instead of length × width?
A: This formula is useful when you know the diagonal and angle but not the individual side lengths of the rectangle.
Q2: What is the range of valid angle values?
A: The angle between diagonal and breadth must be between 0° and 90° for a valid rectangle.
Q3: How is the angle converted from degrees to radians?
A: The calculator automatically converts degrees to radians using the formula: radians = degrees × π/180.
Q4: Can this formula be used for squares?
A: Yes, for squares the angle between diagonal and breadth is 45°, and the formula simplifies accordingly.
Q5: What are practical applications of this calculation?
A: This calculation is useful in construction, carpentry, graphic design, and any field where rectangular areas need to be determined from diagonal measurements.
