The formula calculates the area of a rectangle using the diameter of its circumcircle and the angle between the diagonal and length. This provides an alternative method to the standard length × width calculation.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula derives from trigonometric relationships between the rectangle's diagonal (equal to the circumcircle diameter), the angle with the length, and the resulting area.
Details: Calculating rectangle area is fundamental in geometry, architecture, engineering, and various practical applications where rectangular shapes are involved.
Tips: Enter the circumcircle diameter in meters and the angle in radians. The angle must be between 0 and π/2 radians (0-90 degrees).
Q1: Why use this formula instead of length × width?
A: This formula is useful when you know the circumcircle properties and the angle, but not the direct length and width measurements.
Q2: What is the range of valid angle values?
A: The angle must be between 0 and π/2 radians (0-90 degrees) as it represents an angle within a rectangle.
Q3: How is the circumcircle related to the rectangle?
A: The circumcircle of a rectangle passes through all four vertices, and its diameter equals the rectangle's diagonal length.
Q4: Can this formula be used for squares?
A: Yes, for squares the angle between diagonal and length is π/4 radians (45 degrees), and the formula simplifies accordingly.
Q5: What units should be used for inputs?
A: Diameter in meters, angle in radians. Ensure consistent units for accurate results.
