You can use the hypotenuse formula, e.g., from the Pythagorean theorem calculator, to estimate the diagonal of a rectangle, which can be expressed with the following formula: d² = l² + w², and now you should know how to find the diagonal of a rectangle explicit formula - just take a square root: d = √ (l² + w²).
