In the figure above, if the area of triangular region D is 4, what is the length of a side of square region A ?

The area of triangular region D = \frac{xy}{2} = 4 --> xy=8.
Question: z = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

(1) The area of square region B is 9 --> x^2=9 --> x=3 --> y=\frac{8}{x}=\frac{8}{3}. Sufficient.

(2) The area of square region C is 64/9 --> y^2=\frac{64}{9} --> y=\frac{8}{3} --> x=\frac{8}{y}=3. Sufficient.

Answer: D.
