Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let the Length = L
Let the width = w
w = 2*L - 3
Area = L * w
Area = 193
Solution
Area = 193
193 = L*(2L - 3)
193 = 2L^2 - 3L Subtract 193 from both sides.
2L^2 - 3L - 193 = 0
You have to use the quadratic formula get the answer. Without going through all all that, I will tell you that the only value you can use for L is 10.6
L = 10.6
w = 2* 10.6 - 3 = 18.4
But you want the diagonal. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to get it.
Diagonal^2 = L^2 + w^2
Diangonal^2 = 10.6^2 + 18.4^2
Diagonal^2 = 450.92 Take the square root of both sides
√diagonal^2 = √450.92
Answer
The diagonal is 21,23
