How to use this tool

  1. Enter side.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Diagonal = side × √2.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using side = 4 m, the result is 5.65685425 m. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Use the indicated units consistently. Ideal shapes are assumed; dimensions must describe the same object. Display rounding does not increase measurement precision.

Common questions

Which inputs does this calculation need?

Find the corner-to-corner distance across a square. Enter side in m. The filled example is editable and is not a saved personal record.

How should I interpret the result?

Use the indicated units consistently. Ideal shapes are assumed; dimensions must describe the same object. Display rounding does not increase measurement precision.
