Given a side of the cube a. The task is to find the length of the diagonal of the cube.
 

cube

Examples: 
 

Input : a = 3 
Output : 5.19615

Input : a = 6 
Output : 10.3923 

 

Formula : 
 

Length of diagonal of the cube = sqrt(3) * side 

Proof : 

Use Pythagorean Theorem, 
In triangle CED, 
CE2 = CD2 + DE2 
l2 = a2 + a2 ———>(1) 
In triangle CFE, 
CF2 = CE2 + EF2 
L2 = l2 + a2 
use l2 value from equation(1), 
L2 = a2 + a2 + a2 
= 3*a2 
L = sqrt(3) * a

 

C++




// CPP program to find length
// of the diagonal of the cube
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find length
// of diagonal of cube
float diagonal_length(float a)
{
    float L;
 
    // Formula to Find length
    // of diagonal of cube
    L = a * sqrt(3);
 
    return L;
}
 
// Driver code

{
 
    float a = 5;
 
    // Function call
    cout << diagonal_length(a);
 
    return 0;
}

    L = a * Math.sqrt(3);
 
    return L;
}
 
// Driver code
    let a = 5;
 
    // Function call
    document.write(diagonal_length(a).toFixed(5));

</script>


Output: 

8.66025

 

Time Complexity: O(1), as using sqrt(3) will take constant operations.
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
