It is given that it is a trapeziam but the parallel sides are equal to each other.
This makes the sides joining both the parallel side to be perpendicular (90 degrees).
This makes it a recatangle.
Area of rectangle lxb = 60 (given)
height =10 (given).
Therefore considering the height as the length of the rectangle we get b as 6.
To get the length of the diagonal we have to apply pythagoras theorem.
diagonal^2 = 10^2 + 6^2
therefore diagonal = \(\sqrt{136}\)
option D)

Hi, I'm a bit confused on how you know that the trapezium is a rectangle. Could you explain a bit more?
