To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1- You have the following information given in the problem above:

 - The square of the diagonal of the rectangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the length and the width.
 - The length is 25 meters and the diagonal is 45 meters.

 2- Therefore, you have:

 x: diagonal of the rectangle.

 x^2=l^2+w^2

 3- You have:

 w^2+l^2-x^2=0
 w^2+(25)^2-(45)^2=0
 w^2-1400=0
 w=37.41

 The answer is: w^2-1400=0

Answer:

B) 252 + y^2 = 452
