Answer:
One pair: Length = 31.82 cm and Width = 31.82 cm,
Other pair: Length = 30 cm and Width = 33.54 cm,

Explanation:
Given Brianne purchased a box with a base diagonal length that is 45 centimeters long. The two possible pairs of dimensions for the length and width of the box are the base of the box has a
shape of a rectangle, and to find the length of the diagonal we can use the pythagoras theorem as follows: d2 = l2 + w2,Where d is the diagonal, l is the length and w is the width.
If we assume the base of the box to be a square, we can find one pair of dimension: as l = w,
d2 = l2 + l2 = 2l2, d2 = 2 X 45 X 45 = 4,050, d is equal to square root of 4,050 is 63.63,
d2 = 2l2, l = 63.63/2  = 31.82 cm, So one pair is length = 31.82 cm and width = 31.82 cm,
To find other pair, we can just assume a value for the length,
so length = 30 cm then we can find the width as 452 = 302 + w2, w2 = 2,025 – 900 = 1,125,
w is eqaul to square root of 1,125 = 33.54 cm, So the other pair is
Length = 30 cm and Width = 33.54 cm.
