  2. Square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square

    The diagonals of a square are (about 1.414) times the length of a side of the square. This value, known as the square root of 2 or Pythagoras' constant, [1] was the first number proven to be irrational. A square can also be defined as a parallelogram with equal diagonals that bisect the angles.

    The second of the two numbers is 42;25,35 = 30547/720 ≈ 42.426. This number is the result of multiplying 30 by the given approximation to the square root of two, and approximates the length of the diagonal of a square of side length 30. [2]

  4. Diagonal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal

    The diagonals of a cube with side length 1. AC' (shown in blue) is a space diagonal with length , while AC (shown in red) is a face diagonal and has length . In geometry, a diagonal is a line segment joining two vertices of a polygon or polyhedron, when those vertices are not on the same edge. Informally, any sloping line is called diagonal.

  5. Regular polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polygon

    For n > 2, the number of diagonals is (); i.e., 0, 2, 5, 9, ..., for a triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, ... . The diagonals divide the polygon into 1, 4, 11, 24, ... pieces OEIS : A007678 . For a regular n -gon inscribed in a unit-radius circle, the product of the distances from a given vertex to all other vertices (including adjacent ...

  6. Square root of 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_2

    Geometrically, the square root of 2 is the length of a diagonal across a square with sides of one unit of length; this follows from the Pythagorean theorem. It was probably the first number known to be irrational. [1] The fraction ⁠ 99 / 70 ⁠ (≈ 1.4142857) is sometimes used as a good rational approximation with a reasonably small denominator.

  7. Space diagonal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_diagonal

    A magic square is an arrangement of numbers in a square grid so that the sum of the numbers along every row, column, and diagonal is the same. Similarly, one may define a magic cube to be an arrangement of numbers in a cubical grid so that the sum of the numbers on the four space diagonals must be the same as the sum of the numbers in each row, each column, and each pillar.

  8. Ptolemy's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy's_theorem

    Any square can be inscribed in a circle whose center is the center of the square. If the common length of its four sides is equal to a {\displaystyle a} then the length of the diagonal is equal to a 2 {\displaystyle a{\sqrt {2}}} according to the Pythagorean theorem , and Ptolemy's relation obviously holds.

  9. Euler's quadrilateral theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_quadrilateral_theorem

    Euler's quadrilateral theorem or Euler's law on quadrilaterals, named after Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), describes a relation between the sides of a convex quadrilateral and its diagonals. It is a generalisation of the parallelogram law which in turn can be seen as generalisation of the Pythagorean theorem .
