Short Edge of Parallelogram given Diagonals and Long Edge Calculator

Calculate Short Edge of Parallelogram







Formula

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

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

Definition

The Short Edge of a Parallelogram is the length of the shortest pair of parallel edges 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 Long Edge of a Parallelogram is the length of the longest pair of parallel sides in a Parallelogram.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ e_{\text{Short}} = \sqrt{\frac{18^2 + 9^2 - (2 \cdot 12^2)}{2}} = 7.64852927038918 \]

The Short Edge of the Parallelogram is 7.64852927038918 meters.
