In rectangle ABCD, what is the length of BD?
## Geometric Diagram of Rectangle with Diagonals

### Description:
The diagram features a rectangle labeled ABCD with the following dimensions: 
- Side AB and side CD are each 4 cm in length.
- Side AD and side BC are each 9 cm in length.

### Details:
- **Vertices:**
  - A is at the bottom-left corner.
  - B is at the top-left corner.
  - C is at the top-right corner.
  - D is at the bottom-right corner.
  
- **Diagonals:**
  - The diagonals AC and BD intersect at point O inside the rectangle.
  - The point O is the center of the rectangle.

Each diagonal divides the rectangle into two right triangles. The lengths of the sides and the intersecting point (O) help to understand various properties of rectangles such as symmetry, the congruence of triangles, and properties of parallelograms.
