Body diagonal


The 4 body diagonals of a beam in color

In space geometry, a body diagonal is a line between two vertices of a multipath that are not both in the same side plane.

In a rectangular block, a body diagonal is a line from a vertex of the block to the vertex opposite to each other in all three directions. Such a block has 4 body diagonals that are just as long.

To calculate the length of a body diagonal of a space figure (cube and bar), apply the following formula. a = l 2 + b 2 + h 2 {\displaystyle a={\sqrt {l^{2}+b^{2}+h^{2}}}} where a = body diagonal length, l = space figure space, b = space figure width and h = space figure height. Also see
