Why is my "13-inch" MacBook pro only 12 inches long?

Why is my "13-inch" MacBook pro only 12 inches long? I ordered a 13" MacBook pro from the Apple education store and picked it up in the store yesterday night. This morning I realized that it's only 12 inches long... ?

For the same reason a 55 inch TV is not 55 inches long. The quoted screen size is the diagonal measurement.
