    Here shall use the cosine rule:

    let the length of the first diagonal be d;

    thus

    d²=8²+6²-2*6*8cos55

    d²=64+36-96cos55

    d²=44.93666211

    d=6.7035

    We know that two adjacent angles of parallelogram are supplementary, so since 180-55=125°, the length of the second diagonal d', we shall have:

    d'²=8²+6²-2*8*6cos 125

    d'²=64+36-96cos125

    d'²=155.0633379

    d=12.45244
