Delta says:

Carry-on Baggage Size Restrictions

Baggage may not exceed 45 linear inches (or 115 cm) in combined
length, width, and height.
Baggage must fit easily in the Carry-on Baggage Check, which is
located near the check-in counters and at the gate and is
approximately 22" x 14" x 9" or 56 x 36 x 23 centimeters.

Approved Personal Carry-on Items

1 purse, briefcase, camera bag, or diaper bag;
or 1 laptop computer (computers cannot be checked and must be carried on);
or 1 item of a similar or smaller size to those listed above.

Additional Approved Carry-on Items

You may also carry on the following items, which do not count as personal 
items:

A jacket or umbrella.
Food or drink purchased after clearing the security checkpoint.
Duty free merchandise.
Special items like strollers, child restraint seats, or assistive
devices such as wheelchairs or crutches.
