You don't. A rectangle doesn't have a hypoteneuse, only a right-angled triangle has a hypoteneuse.
As for the diagonal of a rectangle, you can draw it from any vertex to the opposite vertex. It's length is the square root of the sum of the squares of the longer and the shorter side-lengths.

A rectangle is 3 meters wide and 10 meters long how long is the diagonal of the rectangle?
To find the length of the diagonal in a rectangle, use the formula for calculating the hypotenuse of a right triangle: a² = b² + c². a² = 3² + 10² a² = 9 + 100 a² = 109 a = 10.44 m
How do you find the diagonal of a rectangle?
By the Pythagorean Theorem, the diagonal is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the diagonal and the two included sides. c2 = a2 + b2 so the diagonal is the square root of the sum of the squares of the rectangle's length and width. Example : for a rectangle 4 x 3, the diagonal is sqrt(32 + 42) = sqrt (25) = 5
Find the hypotenuse of a triangle the legs are 35 and 68?
The hypotenuse of a triangle with legs of 35 and 68 is: 76.48
Find hypotenuse of right triangle of 300Cm and 400Cm?
The hypotenuse of right triangle of 300Cm and 400Cm is: 500 cm
How can you use the pythagorean theorem to add two vectors that are perpindicular to each other?
Construct the rectangle that contains the right angle subtended by the vectors. Calculate or construct the diagonal of the rectangle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the two vectors as sides. The hypotenuse is also the vector that is the sum of the two original vectors. Calculate the magnitude of that vector by applying the theorem.
What is the hypotenuse of a 40x50 rectangle?
A rectangle doesn't have a 'hypotenuse'. The diagonal of that one is 64.031 . (rounded)
Can a triangle tesellate to form a rectangle?
Two right-angled triangles placed hypotenuse to hypotenuse with one inverted form a rectangle...
How do you find the width and length of a rectangle knowing ONLY the diagonal and its angle?
By using the trigonometric ratios of Sine and Cosine. The diagonal forms the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle with the length and width of the rectangle forming the other two sides of the triangle - the adjacent and opposite sides to the angle. Then: sine = opposite/hypotenuse → opposite = hypotenuse x sine(angle) cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse → adjacent = hypotenuse x cosine(angle)
What is the hypotenuse of a 50 x 60 rectangle?
A rectangle doesn't have a hypotenuse.The diagonal of this one is sqrt(6,100) = 78.1025 (rounded)
A rectangle is 3 meters wide and 10 meters long how long is the diagonal of the rectangle?
To find the length of the diagonal in a rectangle, use the formula for calculating the hypotenuse of a right triangle: a² = b² + c². a² = 3² + 10² a² = 9 + 100 a² = 109 a = 10.44 m
Area of a rectangle using diagonal and height?
Use the Pythagorean Theorem (a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse) and then you will know the base of the rectangle (which would be a or b, depending on which you use). Then you can multiply the base and height to find the area of the rectangle!Great answer!
What is the hypotenuse of a 40 x 60 rectangle?
By splitting the rectangle into half diagonally, we obtain two right triangles with sides 40 and 60. Using Pythagorean theorem, we obtain approximately 72.11 as the hypotenuse of both of them.
What is the hypotenuse of a 6 x 40 rectangle?
Half of a rectangle is a right angled triangle. Pythagoras! Hyp squared = 6 squared + 40 squared = 36 + 1600 = 1696 so Hypotenuse = sqrt 1696 = 41.18252
Can you make a rectangle out of two triangles and a square?
Sure, place a triangle's hypotenuse (longest side) on the other triangle's hypotenuse, that will give either a square or a rectangle. Then place the square on one end of the rectangle. For this to work though, the length of the square's side HAS to equal the length of the triangles hypotenuses, and likewise each triangle's hypotenuse much equal the length of a side of the square. Hope this is clear.
Determine length width only given area rectangle The area is 141cm2 and still have to find the hypotenuse.?
area is the inside the formula for a triangle is one half b*h
How do you find the hypotenuse with a cosine and or sine?
For a right angle triangle:- hypotenuse = adjacent/cosine or hypotenuse = opposite/sine
How do you find the cosine and the sine?
Sine= Opposite/ Hypotenuse Cosine= Adjacent/ Hypotenuse
