It can't be done; there is not enough information.

A parallelogram has two diagonals. The length of one of them does not determine the parallelogram; given a segment that is the diagonal of a parallelogram, there are an infinite number of parallelograms with diagonals of that length.

Even knowing the lengths of BOTH diagonals is not enough to determine a unique parallelogram. We know the diagonals bisect each other; but given the lengths of both of them, there are still an infinite number of parallelograms that can be formed.

.

There is NO such thing (notion, conception) in Math as the (or "a") "diagnol" of a parallelogram.

Simply DOES NOT EXIST in Math.

If you want to communicate with tutors at this forum, learn the basic terms/terminology and use it correctly.

Good luck and happy learning !
