diagonal of kabaddi court

The diagonal of a kabaddi court is an important measurement in the traditional Indian sport of kabaddi. A standard kabaddi court for men measures 13 meters by 10 meters, creating a rectangular playing area that follows specific dimensions recognized by the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India.

To calculate the diagonal of this court, we use the Pythagorean theorem. The diagonal equals the square root of （length squared plus width squared）, which is √（13² + 10²） = √（169 + 100） = √269 ≈ 16.4 meters. This diagonal measurement is crucial for court setup and ensures proper playing conditions according to traditional Indian sporting standards.

Kabaddi courts are typically made from local Indian materials including clay or mud surfaces, which provide the ideal playing texture for this indigenous sport. The boundary lines are traditionally marked with natural materials like lime or chalk, though modern courts may use synthetic materials while maintaining the authentic diagonal and other key measurements that have been part of Indian kabaddi for generations.
