Length of the diagonal is 24 cm

Explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the length of the diagonal of the rectangle using Pythagoras Theorem, where diagonal is the hypotenuse. This is possible because a rectangle has tight angles.

Diagonal² = Length² + Width²

= 24² + 10² = 576 + 100 = 676

⇒ Length of the diagonal = √676 = 24 cm
