A rectangle is composed of 4 right angles. With the diagonal you have created two triangles and better yet 2 right triangles. You would then use the pythagorean therom a^2+b^2=c^2
you already have the value for c=61 and a=11 all you have to do is plug in the numbers
121 +b^2=3721
subract 121 from both sides
b^2=3600
b=60
Let us doublecheck
121+3600=3721
