D i a g o n a l = l 2 + b 2 , a r e a = l b .
l 2 + b 2 = 2 5 ⇒ l 2 + b 2 = 6 2 5 . . . . 1
l b = 1 6 8 ⇒ 2 l b = 3 3 6 . . . 2
Adding 1 and 2 , we get: l 2 + b 2 + 2 l b = 6 2 5 + 3 3 6 = 9 6 1 ⇒ l + b = 9 6 1 = 3 1 . . . . 3 Subtracting 1 and 2 , we get: l 2 + b 2 − 2 l b = 6 2 5 − 3 3 6 = 2 8 9 ⇒ l − b = 2 8 9 = 1 7 . . . . 4 From the system of equations 3 a n d 4 , we get: l = 2 4 and b = 7 The rest is left to the reader.
