Example Question #4 : How To Find The Length Of The Diagonal Of A Rectangle
The sides of rectangle ABCD are 4 in and 13 in.
How long is the diagonal of rectangle ABCD?
A diagonal of a rectangle cuts the rectangle into 2 right triangles with sides equal to the sides of the rectangle and with a hypotenuse that is the diagonal. All you need to do is use the pythagorean theorem:
where a and b are the sides of the rectangle and c is the length of the diagonal.
