\n" ); document.write( "A graph of this will show that the limitations placed on a diagonal is that a diagonal must be \"0%3Cd%3C42\", so no realistic maximum diagonal length can be achieved.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You CAN look for the dimensions for the minimum diagonal length.
