The link shown by the other tutor is for a very similar problem but with different numbers.
The solution method is exactly the same for this problem, using those different numbers.
If you follow the example of that other similar problem, you should find that the rectangle in this problem has dimensions 3 and 4, with a diagonal of 5.
