Correct Answer: $20\sqrt{2}$


Solution : Let the side length of a square be $ \text{s}\;\mathrm{cm}$.
The perimeter of the square $=4 \times \text{s}$
Given that the perimeter is $80\;\mathrm{cm}$.
The side length of the square $=\frac{80}{4} = 20\;\mathrm{cm}$
The diagonal of a square $=\sqrt{2} \times \text{s }$
The length of the diagonal of this square $=\sqrt{2} \times 20 = 20\sqrt{2}\;\mathrm{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is $20\sqrt{2}$.
