Figure is a SQUARE. You have the length value for one of the diagonals. Not a problem!

SQUARE - all four sides of the figure are congruent. The two diagonals are congruent with each other. Either diagonal will cut the figure into two special 45-45-90 right-triangles, and you can apply Pythagorean Theorem Formula, if you like to.
