Circumradius of Rectangle given Diagonal Calculator

Calculate Circumradius



Formula

The formula to calculate the circumradius of a rectangle given its diagonal is:

\[ r_c = \frac{d}{2} \]

Where:

Definition

The circumradius of a rectangle is the radius of the circle which contains the rectangle with all its vertices lying on the circle.

The diagonal of the rectangle is the length of the line joining any pair of opposite vertices of the rectangle.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ r_c = \frac{10}{2} \approx 5 \, \text{meters} \]

The circumradius is approximately 5 meters.
