FAQ
How do I calculate the area of a rectangle?+

Multiply the width by the height: Area = width × height. For example, a rectangle 8 m wide and 5 m tall has an area of 40 m².

What is the formula for a rectangle's perimeter?+

The perimeter equals twice the sum of width and height: Perimeter = 2 × (width + height). A rectangle 8 m × 5 m has a perimeter of 26 m.

How is the diagonal of a rectangle calculated?+

Apply the Pythagorean theorem: Diagonal = √(width² + height²). This gives the straight-line distance between opposite corners.

Can I use different units for input and output?+

Yes. Select your input unit (e.g. feet) and a different output unit (e.g. meters) — the calculator converts all results automatically so you never have to do manual unit conversions.
