  1. P=2L+2W
    78.4=2L+2W
    39.2=L+W→i
    A=L•W
    368.16=L•W→ii
    W=368.16/L
    39.2=L+W
    39.2=L+368.16/L
    39.2=(L²+368.16)/L
    L²-39.2L+368.16=0
    ∴ L=23.6 in, W=15.6 in
    D²=23.6²+15.6²
    D=28.29 in
    Chk:
    A=23.6•15.6
    A=368.16 in²
    P=2(23.6+15.6)
    P=78.4 in
