Answer:
2√(58)

Explanation:

the diagonal of a rectangle is the same as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. So we already have two sides of this right triangle the short side being 6 in and the long side being 14. We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve.


a^2+b^2=c^2\\14^2+6^2=232\\c^2=232\\c=2√(58)
