Circumradius of Rectangle given Perimeter and Breadth Calculator

Calculate Circumradius





Formula

The formula to calculate the circumradius of a rectangle given its perimeter and breadth is:

\[ \text{rc} = \sqrt{P^2 - (4P \cdot b) + (8b^2)} / 4 \]

Where:

Definition

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

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{rc} = \sqrt{28^2 - (4 \cdot 28 \cdot 6) + (8 \cdot 6^2)} / 4 \approx 5 \, \text{meters} \]

The circumradius is approximately 5 meters.
