a certain city block is in the form of a parallelogram. two of its side measures 32ft. and 41ft. if the area of the land in the block is 656 sq. ft. , what is the length of its longer diagonal?

Note:: The area of the parallelogram is 1312 sq ft.
The 656 is half that area.
-------------------
Draw the picture.
You have a parallelogram with sides 32 and 41
----
The diagonal = sqrt[32^2+41^2] = 52 ft
