Long Edge of Parallelogram given Diagonals and Short Edge Calculator

Calculate Long Edge of Parallelogram







Formula

The formula to calculate the Long Edge of Parallelogram given Diagonals and Short Edge is:

\[ e_{\text{Long}} = \sqrt{\frac{d_{\text{Long}}^2 + d_{\text{Short}}^2 - (2 \cdot e_{\text{Short}}^2)}{2}} \]

Definition

The Long Edge of a Parallelogram is the length of the longest pair of parallel sides in a Parallelogram. The Long Diagonal of a Parallelogram is the length of the line joining the pair of acute angle corners of a Parallelogram. The Short Diagonal of a Parallelogram is the length of the line joining the pair of obtuse angle corners of a Parallelogram. The Short Edge of a Parallelogram is the length of the shortest pair of parallel edges in a Parallelogram.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ e_{\text{Long}} = \sqrt{\frac{18^2 + 9^2 - (2 \cdot 7^2)}{2}} = 12.3895116933639 \]

The Long Edge of the Parallelogram is 12.3895116933639 meters.
