How to Calculate the Diagonal of a Cuboid

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

For a cuboid (rectangular prism), the space diagonal that stretches from one vertex to the opposite vertex is given by d = √(L² + W² + H²), where L, W, and H are length, width, and height. For instance, if a box is 3 m × 4 m × 12 m, the diagonal is √(3² + 4² + 12²) = √(9 + 16 + 144) = √169 = 13 m. This formula is used in warehouse logistics (checking if a box can fit diagonally), 3D geometry tasks, and advanced engineering designs requiring precise spatial measurements.
