This tool calculates the diagonal length of a square when you provide the length of one of its sides.
How to Use the Square Corner to Corner Calculator
To calculate the distance from one corner of a square to the opposite corner, follow these steps:
- Enter the length of one side of the square in the “Side A” input field.
- Enter the length of the adjacent side in the “Side B” input field.
- Click on the “Calculate” button.
- The result will be displayed in the “Result” field.
This calculator uses the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance between two opposite corners of a rectangle (or square). The formula used is:
Result = sqrt(Side A2 + Side B2)
Limitations
This calculator assumes that the input values for side A and side B form a right angle. It calculates the length of the diagonal as if the shape were a right-angle polygon. If the sides do not form a right angle, the calculated result will not be accurate.
