Let the two diagonals intersect at O , A O = a , B O = b , C O = c , and D O = d . Then by Pythagorean theorem we have:
⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ a 2 + b 2 = A B 2 = 1 2 = 1 b 2 + c 2 = B C 2 = 1 0 2 = 1 0 0 c 2 + d 2 = C D 2 = 1 8 2 = 3 2 4 . . . ( 1 ) . . . ( 2 ) . . . ( 3 )
From ( 1 ) − ( 2 ) + ( 3 ) : a 2 + d 2 = 1 − 1 0 0 + 3 2 4 = 2 2 5 . Note that D A 2 = a 2 + d 2 = 2 2 5 , ⟹ D A = 1 5 .
