You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the pythagorean formula
where c is the diagonal, a is the width, b is the height
Complete the square. Take 1/2 of the coefficient of the term
square it, and add it to both sides The other solution is negative,
so it must be rejected
The width is , so
width =
width = answer
Height =
height = answer
