Diagonals in the diamond

The length of one diagonal in a diamond is 24 cm greater than the length of the second diagonal, and the diamond area is 50 m2. Determine the sizes of the diagonals.

Correct answer:

u1 =  1012.07 cm
u2 =  988.07 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

u2=u124 S=2u1u2=2u1(u124)=50 m2=500000 cm2 2S=u1224u1 u224u1000000=0  a=1;b=24;c=1000000 D=b24ac=24241(1000000)=4000576 D>0  u1,2=2ab±D=224±4000576=224±862509 u1,2=12±1000.071997 u1=1012.071997408 u2=988.071997408   Factored form of the equation:  (u1012.071997408)(u+988.071997408)=0  u>0 u1=1012.07 cm
