Correct Answer: $12 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$


Solution : According to the question,
The area of the square is 144 cm 2
⇒ Area = (Side Length) 2 = 144 cm 2
⇒ side = $\sqrt{144}$ = 12 cm
⇒ Length of diagonal = $\sqrt{2}$ × Side length = 12$\sqrt{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $12 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$.
