Volume = Length x Width x Height.

In the second case, Volume = Length2 x Width and so Width = Volume/Length2 and Height = Length.

How do you find the area of a rectangle given the length and diagonal?

The area of a rectangle is length times width. If you have the length and a diagonal, you will first have to figure out the width, using the formula of Pythagoras. length2 + width2 = diagonal2; solving for width: width = square root of (diagonal2 - length2). Once you have the width, just multiply lenght x width.
