If it's a cube, all sides have to be squares.
If the surface area of one side is 1, then the the length of each edge is also 1.
Then, the diagonal of a side would be √(1² + 1²) = √2
And, not sure if this is what you're asking, a diagonal connecting one corner of the cube to the opposite corner would have the diagonal of one side as a base, and an edge as the other side, so it would have length √(1+2) = √3

The area of each side is 1, so
A = s²
s² = 1
s = 1
The side measures 1. The diagonal measures
d = sâ3
Therefore,
d = â3

Take the cube and set one vertex on the origin in the first octant.
You can draw a vector from the origin to the point (1,1,1) this is the diagonal.
By pythagoreans theorem the length of a vector is sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2).
so this vector is sqrt(3)

diagonal = â(3)*s
= â(3s²)
= â3 as s² = 1
