<h3>Answer: 26 cm</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below. The rectangle MATH has the diagonal MT that cuts the rectangle into two identical right triangles.
We then use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse MT.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
676 = c^2
c^2 = 676
c = sqrt(676)
c = 26
Segment MT is 26 cm long.
This applies to the other diagonal AH as well.
