diagonal of rectangle

11/21/2006 12:25 PM erkinator

Does anyone have the carpenters calculator to give me the diagonal measurments of a 8` x 26` rectangle and a 10` x 26` rectangle so I can square my deck frame. If you can show it in inches I would appreciate it. Thank you.

C squared equals the square root of A squared plus B squared.

Also, it matters little what the number is, for future reference - in a squared up rectangel, both diagonals will be the same.

27'-2-7/16"

27'-10-5/16"

Excellence is its own reward!
