Answer:

The length of the diagonal is 12.53

Explanation:

Since we have a rectangle, the diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. So we can use Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

We know the two legs are 6 and 11, so we can find the hypotenuse (which is the diagonal) see image.

See image.
