well, 40 squared = 1600........
60 squared = 3600........
add the two to get 5200, so your answer is the square root of 5200, which is 72.11 feet.

Using Pythagoras Theorem,
The diagonal measurement h=(40^2 + 60^2)^(1/2)
= (1600+3600)^(1/2)
= (5200)^(1/2)
= 72.11ft

The diagonal would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle with sides 40 and 60.
40^2 + 60^2 = diagonal squared
1600 + 3600 = diagonal squared
5200 = diagonal squared
72.11 feet

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
40^2 + 60^2 = c^2 (diagonal)
c=72.111

I think we need all three measurements i.e height ,length and breadth of the room. You have mentioned two so the resultant cannot be a room. However, the diagonal for a room (simple cuboid) is under root of (height square + breadth square + length square)
