The formula calculates the breadth of a rectangle using the diameter of its circumcircle and the acute angle between its diagonals. This geometric relationship helps determine one dimension of a rectangle when certain properties are known.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula derives from trigonometric relationships in a rectangle and its circumscribed circle, where the breadth can be expressed in terms of the circumcircle diameter and the angle between diagonals.
Details: Calculating the breadth of a rectangle is essential in various geometric applications, construction projects, and engineering designs where precise dimensions are required.
Tips: Enter the diameter of the circumcircle in meters and the acute angle between diagonals in degrees. Both values must be positive, with the angle between 0° and 90°.
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 circumcircle's center is at the intersection of the diagonals.
Q2: Why is the angle divided by 2 in the formula?
A: The division by 2 comes from the trigonometric identity and the geometric relationship between the rectangle's dimensions and the angles formed by its diagonals.
Q3: 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, where the acute angle between diagonals is 90°.
Q4: What are the units of measurement?
A: The calculator uses meters for length measurements and degrees for angles. Ensure consistent units for accurate results.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact based on the geometric properties of rectangles. Accuracy depends on the precision of input values.
