you can use the distance formula (from (-1,3) to (1-,3) and that will give you the diagonal length)
Or, if you are familiar with a 45-45-90 triangle well enough, then you can find the length and width of rectangle and then use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Distance formula: \(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm D} =\sqrt{ (\color{blue}{{\rm y}_1}-\color{red}{{\rm y}_2})^2+(\color{green}{{\rm x}_1}-\color{darkgoldenrod}{{\rm x}_2})^2 }}\) where \(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm D} }\) is the distance. \(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{green}{{\rm x}_1}~,~~\color{blue}{{\rm y}_1}) }\) and \(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{darkgoldenrod}{{\rm x}_2}~,~~\color{red}{{\rm y}_2}) }\) are your two points.
