If you move one of the diagonal out  parallel to the original one using bob's picture (HD // AC, HD = AC, AH = DC, BD ⊥ DH ), so that the two diagonals and the extended long base form a right triangle, and the new extended base length is DC + AB,  you may use Pythagorean to find  sqr ( DC + AB) =  sqr(diagonal 1) + sqr (diagonal 2).  I did not know how to embed the imagine here.
