To find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle using the Pythagorean theorem, you will need the lengths of the two sides of the rectangle. The lengths of the sides can be represented as \( a \) and \( b \).
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangle and the length of the diagonal (hypotenuse \( c \)) is given by the equation:
\[
c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
\]
If you have specific measurements of the sides (length \( a \) and width \( b \)), you can substitute those values into the equation to calculate the diagonal.
If you provide the lengths of the rectangle's sides, I can help you calculate the diagonal!
