Rectangle Section Properties Through Corners Calculator

Rectangle Section Properties Through Corners Calculator can be used to calculate the area, centroid, moment of inertia, and other section properties of a rectangular cross-section based on its corner coordinates.

Input Parameters

Calculating Formulas

Area = (x2 - x1) * (y2 - y1)

Centroid X = (x1 + x2) / 2

Centroid Y = (y1 + y2) / 2

Moment of Inertia about X-axis = (b * h^3) / 12

Moment of Inertia about Y-axis = (h * b^3) / 12

Where:
b = x2 - x1 (width)
h = y2 - y1 (height)

Rectangle Section Properties Through Corners Calculator Guide

Learn how to use the Rectangle Section Properties Through Corners Calculator and its working principles

How to Use

  1. Enter the coordinates of the bottom left corner (x1, y1).
  2. Enter the coordinates of the top right corner (x2, y2).
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the area, centroid, and moments of inertia.
  4. View the results in the designated fields.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the given corner coordinates to determine the width (b) and height (h) of the rectangle. It then calculates the area, centroid, and moments of inertia using standard formulas for rectangular cross-sections.
