Answer:

D. diagonal = 20.10 cm

Explanation:

Find the bottom diagonal using the length and width.

diagonal² = 8² + 12²

diagonal = √64+144

diagonal = √208

diagonal = 4√13

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Find diagonal of the rectangular solid:

diagonal² = (4√13)² + 14²

diagonal² = 208 + 196

diagonal = √404

diagonal = 20.10 cm
