Let width be x
Area: 15√2
Diagonal; 4x

First, you need to find the length using pythagorean theorem.
a=x
c=4x
b=?

Solve this in terms of x and you will find the solution to be; √15x²

Knowing this, plug the number back into the area formula to find the value of x,

(x)(√15x²)=15√2
...
..
x⁴=30

Length= √(15√(30))

Do the calculations just to be sure

Hope I helped :)
