This calculator computes the breadth of a rectangle using the perimeter and the obtuse angle between its diagonals. The formula provides an alternative method to calculate rectangle dimensions using geometric properties.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula derives from the trigonometric relationships between rectangle dimensions, perimeter, and the angles formed by its diagonals.
Details: Calculating rectangle breadth using diagonal angles is useful in geometric analysis, construction planning, and various engineering applications where diagonal measurements are more accessible than direct side measurements.
Tips: Enter the perimeter in meters and the obtuse angle between diagonals in degrees (must be between 90° and 180°). All values must be positive and valid.
Q1: Why use this method instead of direct measurement?
A: This method is useful when diagonal measurements are available but direct side measurements are difficult to obtain.
Q2: What is the range of valid angle inputs?
A: The obtuse angle must be between 90° and 180° (exclusive of 90°, inclusive of 180°).
Q3: Can this formula be used for squares?
A: Yes, but for squares the diagonals form right angles (90°), so this specific formula for obtuse angles wouldn't apply.
Q4: What units should be used for inputs?
A: Perimeter should be in meters, angle in degrees. The result will be in meters.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact, but practical accuracy depends on the precision of input measurements.
