So the quadrilateral is a rhombus. RSM Is hard and etc...
Anyways if the area =
58^(2) and we know that one diagonal is 14.5 inches and we know that the area of a rhombus is

(D^(1) * D^(2))/(2) =
then we can do inverse operation and do

(54)/(14.5) = 4
4 * 2 because of the inverse operation has to be done to get the right answer and then you get the length of diagonal 2 is 8 in
