Let <math>a,b,</math> and <math>c</math> be the sides of the box, we get
 
 
 
<cmath>\begin{align*}
 
  4(a+b+c) &= 13\\
 
2(ab+bc+ca) &= \dfrac{11}{2}\\
 
abc &= \dfrac{1}{2}
 
\end{align*}</cmath>
 
 
 
 
 
The diagonal of the box is
 
 
 
<cmath>\begin{align*}
 
  \sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}&=\sqrt{(a+b+c)^2-2(ab+bc+ca)}\\
 
&=\sqrt{(\dfrac{13}{4})^2-\dfrac{11}{2}}\\
 
&=\sqrt{\dfrac{169}{16}-\dfrac{88}{16}}\\
 
&=\sqrt{\dfrac{81}{16}}\\
 
&=\dfrac{9}{4}
 
\end{align*}
 
</cmath>
