The given is that AC=13AC=13.

ACAC and OBOB are the diagonals of the rectangle.

We know that these diagonals should be equal, so we have:

OB=AC=13OB=AC=13

Notice that OBOB is the radius of the circle so we get r=OB=13r=OB=13.

We know that diameter is d=2rd=2r so we get:

d=2r=213=26d=2r=2\cdot 13=26
