height and width could be 24 in and 18 in
its hit and trial method
as per Pythagorean theorem
+height%5E2%2Bwidth%5E2+=diagonal%5E2
+24%5E2%2B18%5E2+=30%5E2
576%2B324=900
900=900
hence assumed values are right
Result : height = 24 inches
width = 18 in

If the diagonal measurement of a rectangle is 300 inches, what is the height and width
========================
There are an infinite # of measurements that fit.
L^2 + W^2 = 300^3 = 90000
L+=+sqrt%2890000+-+W%5E2%29
Pick any value for W and find L, 0 < W < 300
