FAQ
How is the diagonal of a rectangle found?
The diagonal is the square root of the length squared plus the width squared, from the Pythagorean theorem.
What is the difference between area and perimeter?
Area is the space inside (length times width); perimeter is the distance around (twice the length plus twice the width).
Does it matter which side I call length?
No. Swapping length and width gives the same area, perimeter, and diagonal.
Does the Rectangle Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Rectangle Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.
Worked example
A 8 × 5 rectangle: area = 40, perimeter = 26, diagonal = √(8²+5²) = √89 = 9.43.
