Answer:

58.1377674149945 inches. (Round to whatever you need)

Explanation:

Here we turn to Pythagoras theorem.

Because there is a right angled triangle,

Let the two shorter sides (length and width) be a and b and the longer side (diagonal) be c

A² + B² = C²

38² + 44² = 3380inches² (this is not the area. It's how Pythagoras theorem works)

Then the square root of this is 58.1377674149945 inches. (Round to whatever you need)

So that is the length of the diagonal
