Let's first simplify the problem and assume it's a cube of sides equal to 3. Just unflap one of the two vertical faces of the cube, that touch the diametrically opposite point, so that this face is in the same plane as the top face. Now the start and end point are in the same plane. They are corners of a rectangle with sides = 6 and 3. The diagonal is sqrt(36+9) Now extend this logic to the cuboid.
