Long Edge of Parallelogram given Height to Short Edge and Acute Angle between Sides Calculator

Calculate Long Edge of Parallelogram





Formula

The formula to calculate the Long Edge of Parallelogram given Height to Short Edge and Acute Angle between Sides is:

\[ e_{\text{Long}} = \frac{h_{\text{Short}}}{\sin(\angle_{\text{Acute}})} \]

Definition

The Long Edge of a Parallelogram is the length of the longest pair of parallel sides in a Parallelogram. The Height to Short Edge of a Parallelogram is the perpendicular distance between the shortest pair of parallel edges of a Parallelogram. The Acute Angle of a Parallelogram is the measure of the pair of opposite angles which are less than 90 degrees in a Parallelogram.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ e_{\text{Long}} = \frac{8}{\sin(0.785398163397301)} = 11.3137084989864 \]

The Long Edge of the Parallelogram is 11.3137084989864 meters.
