Answer:

B

Explanation:

The diagonal will become the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the legs being 24 and 7.

Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

We know the legs: a and b, are 24 and 7, so we can substitute them in

24^2+7^2=c^2

Solve the exponents

576+49=c^2

Add

625=c^2

Take the square root of both sides


√(625)=
\sqrt{c^(2) }

c=25

So, the diagonal will be 25 cm, or choice B
