Answer:

105 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer diagonal is opposite the longer angle in the parallelogram.

The longer angle = 180 - 36 = 144 degrees. (Reason: he same side angles  are supplementary).

So, by the law of cosines:

x^ 2 = 40^2 + 70^2 - 2*40*70 cos 140    where x = the diagonal.

x^2 =  11030.50

x = 105.03 feet.
