What is the area of a rectangle with 4.5 for diagonals and 4 for width

You need to use the pythagorean theorem to find length of the base. c2 = a2 +b2
Then use (bxh)/2 to find the area
back from my break.

I'm not sure if I put the values in their correct spots in the Pythagorean theorem correctly but,

4^2 + 4.5^2 = 36.25

(bxh)/2
(36.25 * 4) / 2 = 72.5
h^2 + W^2 = (4.5)^2.
W = 4.
h = ?

Area = h * W.
