Answer:

  C - 24 square root of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In case you haven't memorized the fact that the diagonal of a square is √2 times the side length, you can figure it from the Pythagorean theorem.

  d² = s² + s² . . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of sides

  d² = 2s²

  d = s√2 = (24 ft)√2 = 24√2 ft
