Answer:

75 cm

Explanation:

The diagonal d divides the rectangle into 2 right triangles with d as the hypotenuse.

Using the right triangle formed on the left and using Pythagoras' identity.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

d² = 45² + 60² = 2025 + 3600 = 5625 ( take square root of both sides )

d = 75

The diagonal is 75 cm
