A rectangular region in a solid is in a state of plane strain. The $$(x,y)$$ coordinates of the corners of the undeformed rectangle are given by $$P(0,0), Q(4,0), R(4,3), S(0,3).$$ The rectangle is subjected to uniform strains, $${\varepsilon _{xx}} = 0.001,\,\,{\varepsilon _{yy}} = 0.002,\,\,{\gamma _{xy}} = 0.003.$$ The deformed length of the elongated diagonal, upto three decimal places, is ______________ units.
