okay i have to make graphs, and on one side it says Side Length and the numbers are given, 1, 2, 3 ,4 ,5 the other is Diagonal (D) how do find those. after i do that i have to do first defferences, ratio's, and stuff but how do i find the number of the Diagonal.

Does this have anything to do with Pythagoras, by any chance? If you are talking about a triangle or a square with two sides the same length, the diagonal will be the square root of the sum of these 2 squares. For example, if the side length is 2, (and both sides the same length) the diagonal will be square root of 8. Otherwise you have not given enough info

You do not mention what shape the side lengths are supposed to be used to make.. squares? rectangles? pentagons? etc...
If you are dealing with squares.. side length is related to diagonal length by A^2+B^2=C^2 where A and B are equal and C is the diagonal. (A^2 means A*A or A squared)
Or.. did you mean the number of sides? and the number of diagonals?.. like square has 2 diagonals, pentagon has 5, etc.
