We are looking for the length of the shorter diagonal, which is segment

B

D

. This segment forms a triangle with the two known sides. Since we know two sides and the angel connecting them, we can use the law of cosines to solve for the unknown segment.

Answer:

  • Between 4 and 42 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sides and diagonal make a triangle.

<u>Let the diagonal is d, use triangle inequality:</u>

  • 19 + 23 > d ⇒ 42 > d ⇒ d < 42
  • 19 + d > 23 ⇒ d > 23 - 19 ⇒ d > 4
  • 23 + d > 19 ⇒ d > 0

<u>Solution is:</u>

  • 4 < d < 42
