How do you figure out the longest line segment on area 27 cm by 21 cm?

IF it is assumed that the area in question is a rectangle, then the longest line segment that will fit in it is the diagonal. Then, by Pythagoras's Theorem, its length will be sqrt(272 + 212) = 34.21 cm (approx.)
However, if it not a rectangle, all bets are off.
A parallelogram with sides of 27 and 21 will accommodate a line segment that is a fraction short of 27+21 = 48 cm.
