In a rectangular prism, a space diagonal is a line that goes from a vertex of the prism,
through the center of the prism to the opposite vertex.
A rectangular prism has 4 space diagonals.

The Pythagorean Theorem is useful when we need to find the length of a space
diagonal in a rectangular prism. Side c is the space diagonal.

A diagonal of a three-dimensional figure connectstwo vertices of two different faces.
Diagonal d of a rectangular prism is shown in the diagram.
By the Pythagorean Theorem, l2 + w2 = x2 and x2 + h2 = d2.
Using substitution, l2 + w2 + h2 = d2.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem in Three Dimensions
Find the height of a rectangular prism with a 12 in. by 7 in. base and a space diagonal of 15 in.
225 = 144 + 49 + h2
h2 = 32
Substitute
Square both sides of the equation.
Simplify.
Solve for h2.
Take the square root of both sides.
