When solving this problem, you need to imagine the diagonal line through the rectangle. This makes two triangles which you can use the pythagorean theorem for. 12 squares plus 48 squared equals 2,448. Find the square root of that at it will be your answer (I don’t have the time to figure it out). 11 squared plus 60 squared is 3,712. Square root tbd... add the label and you’re finished!
