  • Calculate the Diagonal of a Right Triangle: Pythagorean Theorem
    You're describing a right triangle where:

    * A is one leg (750mm)

    * B is the other leg (1000mm)

    * The diagonal is the hypotenuse.

    To find the length of the diagonal (hypotenuse), you can use the Pythagorean theorem:

    a² + b² = c²

    Where:

    * a = length of one leg

    * b = length of the other leg

    * c = length of the hypotenuse (the diagonal)

    1. Substitute the values:

    750² + 1000² = c²

    2. Calculate:

    562,500 + 1,000,000 = c²

    1,562,500 = c²

    3. Find the square root:

    c = √1,562,500

    c ≈ 1250 mm

    Therefore, the length of the diagonal is approximately 1250 mm.
