Formulas for Rectangle Calculator
The calculator uses the following formulas to compute the perimeter, area, and diagonal length of a rectangle:
Perimeter (P)
The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is
\( P = 2 \times ( \text{Length} + \text{Breadth}) \)
Area (A)
The area (A) of a rectangle given length and breadth is
\( A = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \)
Diagonal (D)
The diagonal (D) of a rectangle is
\( D = \sqrt{\text{Length}^2 + \text{Breadth}^2} \)
Examples
Example 1
Problem: Calculate the perimeter, area, and diagonal length of a rectangle with a length of 5 units and a breadth of 3 units.
Solution
Step 1: Calculate the Perimeter
Use the formula for perimeter:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Breadth)
Substitute the values:
Perimeter = 2 × (5 + 3)
Calculate the result:
Perimeter = 2 × 8 = 16 units
Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 16 units.
Step 2: Calculate the Area
Use the formula for area:
Area = Length × Breadth
Substitute the values:
Area = 5 × 3
Calculate the result:
Area = 15 square units
Answer: The area of the rectangle is 15 square units.
Step 3: Calculate the Diagonal Length
Use the formula for diagonal length:
Diagonal = √(Length^2 + Breadth^2)
Substitute the values:
Diagonal = √(5^2 + 3^2)
Calculate the result:
Diagonal = √(25 + 9) = √34 ≈ 5.83 units
Answer: The diagonal length of the rectangle is approximately 5.83 units.
Example 2
Problem: Calculate the perimeter, area, and diagonal length of a rectangle with a length of 10 units and a breadth of 7 units.
Solution
Step 1: Calculate the Perimeter
Use the formula for perimeter:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Breadth)
Substitute the values:
Perimeter = 2 × (10 + 7)
Calculate the result:
Perimeter = 2 × 17 = 34 units
Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 34 units.
Step 2: Calculate the Area
Use the formula for area:
Area = Length × Breadth
Substitute the values:
Area = 10 × 7
Calculate the result:
Area = 70 square units
Answer: The area of the rectangle is 70 square units.
Step 3: Calculate the Diagonal Length
Use the formula for diagonal length:
Diagonal = √(Length^2 + Breadth^2)
Substitute the values:
Diagonal = √(10^2 + 7^2)
Calculate the result:
Diagonal = √(100 + 49) = √149 ≈ 12.21 units
Answer: The diagonal length of the rectangle is approximately 12.21 units.
FAQs
1. What is the perimeter of a rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance around the edges of the rectangle. It is calculated using the formula \( P = 2 \times ( \text{Length} + \text{Breadth}) \).
2. What is the area of a rectangle?
The area of a rectangle is the amount of space it occupies. It is calculated using the formula \( A = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \).
3. How do I find the diagonal length of a rectangle?
The diagonal length of a rectangle is the straight-line distance between two opposite corners. It can be found using the formula \( D = \sqrt{\text{Length}^2 + \text{Breadth}^2} \).
