The formula calculates the breadth of a rectangle when given its area and the diameter of its circumcircle. This relationship is derived from the geometric properties of rectangles and their circumcircles.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula is derived from the relationship between the rectangle's dimensions, its area, and the diameter of its circumscribing circle.
Details: Calculating the breadth of a rectangle from its area and circumcircle diameter is important in various geometric applications, construction projects, and engineering designs where these specific parameters are known.
Tips: Enter the area in square meters and the diameter in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the breadth of the rectangle.
Q1: What is a circumcircle of a rectangle?
A: A circumcircle is a circle that passes through all four vertices of a rectangle. For any rectangle, the diameter of the circumcircle equals the diagonal of the rectangle.
Q2: Can this formula be used for squares?
A: Yes, since a square is a special type of rectangle, this formula applies to squares as well.
Q3: What units should I use for the inputs?
A: The calculator uses meters for length measurements and square meters for area. Ensure consistent units for accurate results.
Q4: Are there any limitations to this formula?
A: The formula assumes valid geometric constraints. The expression under the square roots must be non-negative for the calculation to be valid.
Q5: How is this formula derived?
A: The formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem and the relationship between a rectangle's area, its sides, and its diagonal (which equals the circumcircle diameter).
