The formula calculates the length of a rectangle when its perimeter and diagonal are known. It is derived from the relationship between the sides, perimeter, and diagonal of a rectangle.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula combines the perimeter and diagonal relationships to solve for the length of the rectangle.
Details: Calculating the length of a rectangle from its perimeter and diagonal is useful in geometry problems, construction, and various engineering applications where these measurements are known.
Tips: Enter the perimeter and diagonal of the rectangle in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the length using the derived formula.
Q1: What if the expression under the square root is negative?
A: This indicates that the given perimeter and diagonal cannot form a valid rectangle. Please check your input values.
Q2: Can this formula be used for squares?
A: Yes, since a square is a special case of rectangle, the formula works for squares as well.
Q3: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses meters, but you can use any consistent unit of measurement as long as both inputs are in the same unit.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact based on the geometric properties of rectangles.
Q5: Can I calculate the width using this result?
A: Yes, once you have the length, you can calculate the width using the formula: width = (perimeter/2) - length.
