sqrt ( 3^2 + 5^2 + 11^2)  = sqrt [ 155 ]  units  ≈  12.45  units

Diagonal across the base: This can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem on the right triangle formed by half the width, half the length, and the diagonal across the base.

 

Applying the formula, we get 25​2+23​2=d12​, where d1​ is the diagonal across the base. Solving for d1​, we get d1​=38​​.
