Answer:

The length of the diagonal is x√10

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of the diagonal

The diagonal will represent the hypotenuse of a triangle formed with the width and length of the triangle being the measure of the other sides

Mathematically, we then apply Pythagoras’ theorem to get this

we have this as that the square of the diagonal equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

d^2 = x^2 + (3x)^2

d^2 = x^2 + 9x^2

d^2 = 10x^2

d = √(10x^2)

d = x√10
