What is Diagonal?
Diagonal is defined as the line segment formed by joining two vertices of the polygon that are not on the same edge. The word is derived from the word “Diagnosis” which has a Greek origin and means “From Angle to Angle”.
There are various properties of the diagonals that are added below.
Properties of Diagonals
Various properties of the Diagonal of any polygon are
- Diagonals of a regular polygon are congruent.
- Diagonals of any polygon are not on the same edge, etc.
Diagonal Formula
Diagonal Formula is the formula that is used to calculate the length of the diagonal of any polygon. A diagonal is a slant line that joints two alternate sides of any polygon and finding its length is very important for solving various problems of geometry.
There are different ways for finding the diagonal of any polygon and we use various techniques for that purpose. Using Pythagoras Theorem is one such way. We have to study the Diagonal Formula in Class 8. In this article, we will learn about the Diagonal definition, its formula, various examples, and others related to it.
