Answer : 4. "17.08 cm"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 17.08 cm Explanation: Let the length of the rectangle = L cm   Then the breadth of the rectangle = (L - 10) cm   Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B) cm   => 44 = 2(L + L - 10)   => 44 = 4L - 20   => 4L = 64   => L = 16 cm   => B = L - 10 = 6 cm   Diagonal = L2+B2 = 162+62 = 17.08 cm
