Long Edge of Parallelogram given Diagonals and Acute Angle between Diagonals Calculator

Calculate Long Edge







Formula

The formula to calculate the Long Edge of Parallelogram is:

\[ eLong = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{dLong^2 + dShort^2 + (2 \cdot dLong \cdot dShort \cdot \cos(\angle d(Acute)))} \]

Definition

Long Edge of Parallelogram is the length of the longest pair of parallel sides in a Parallelogram. Long Diagonal of Parallelogram is the length of the line joining the pair of acute angle corners of a Parallelogram. Short Diagonal of Parallelogram is the length of the line joining the pair of obtuse angle corners of a Parallelogram. Acute Angle between Diagonals of Parallelogram is the angle made by the diagonals of the Parallelogram which is less than 90 degrees.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ eLong = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{18^2 + 9^2 + (2 \cdot 18 \cdot 9 \cdot \cos(0.872664625997001))} = 12.3820756089042 \]

The Long Edge is 12.3820756089042 Meters.
