The formula calculates the length of a rectangle when the area and diagonal are known. It is derived from the Pythagorean theorem and the area formula of a rectangle.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula combines the relationships between the rectangle's length, width, diagonal, and area to solve for the length.
Details: Calculating the length of a rectangle from its area and diagonal is useful in geometry problems, construction projects, and various engineering applications where complete dimensions need to be determined from partial information.
Tips: Enter the diagonal and area values in meters and square meters respectively. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the length of the rectangle.
Q1: What if the calculated value under the square root is negative?
A: This indicates that the given diagonal and area values cannot form a valid rectangle. Please check your inputs.
Q2: Can this formula be used for squares?
A: Yes, since a square is a special type of rectangle, the formula works for squares as well.
Q3: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses meters for length and diagonal, and square meters for area. Ensure consistent units for accurate results.
Q4: How accurate is the calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact based on the input values. The result is rounded to 4 decimal places for display.
Q5: Can I use this for other quadrilaterals?
A: No, this formula is specific to rectangles where all angles are 90 degrees.
