The diameter of the semi-circle is 4 2 4\sqrt{2} . Therefore, the smaller side of the rectangle is 2 2 2\sqrt{2} . The angle opposite side c c is 13 5 135^\circ . By cosine law,

c 2 = 4 2 + ( 2 2 ) 2 2 ( 4 ) ( 2 2 ) ( cos 135 ) c^2=4^2+(2\sqrt{2})^2-2(4)(2\sqrt{2})(\cos 135)

c 6.325 c \approx \boxed{6.325}
