    40 meters is my answer

    Step-by-step explanation:

    if the diagonal is 85 and the length is 75

    take the Pythagorean theorem, sqrt (a^2 + b^2) = C

    C is equal to 85 as B would be equal to 75 to find A you would do the reverse. i think ...

    I did:

    85*85 = 7225

    75^2 = 75*75 = 5625

    then i did basic math, 7225 - 5625 = 1600

    now what number multiplied by its self equals 1600

    40, So

    40*40=1600

    therefore 40 meters is the answer.
