The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
From that we can conclude for this rectangle that:
Then, since the area, given by the length times the width, is 60,
Solve the quadratic to get the length and width. Then use Pythagoras to get the measure of the diagonal -- or note that the length and width are 2 values in a Pythagorean triple.
