There are two possible answers - that depend on the context.
- In a concave polygon there exists at least one pair of vertices such that the line joining them lies wholly outside the polygon.
- Consider a hollow 3-d object whose body is made up of a material of some thickness. Then the distance between two points on the outside of the body will be grater than the corresponding points on the inside of the body. The outer points will define the external diagonal.
The second definition is sometimes used by airlines for cabin luggage. The outside shape of the case matters, not how big it is inside.

What is the length of the diagonal of a square with an area of 36?
Using Pythagoras: diagonal² = side² + side² = 2 × side² → side² = diagonal² ÷ 2 area = side² = diagonal² ÷ 2 → diagonal² = 2 × area → diagonal = √(2 × area) = √(2 × 36) = 6√2 ≈ 8.49
What important property do the diagonals of a kite have?
The diagonals are perpendicular to one another. The shorter diagonal is bisected by the longer diagonal. The kite is symmetrical about the longer diagonal. The longer diagonal bisects the angles at each end of the diagonal.
