There is 2 ways to solve this type of question.
Method 1
--------------------------------------------------
Formula
--------------------------------------------------
a² + b² = c²
--------------------------------------------------
Apply the formula
---------------------------------------------------
(7√2)² + (7√2)² = c²
c² = 98 + 98
c² = 196
c = √196
c = 14
--------------------------------------------------
Ans: The diagonal length is 14cm
--------------------------------------------------

Method 2
--------------------------------------------------
Identify the triangle
--------------------------------------------------
This is a special triangle
45° - 45° - 90°
--------------------------------------------------
Property of the Angles
--------------------------------------------------
x - x - x√2
--------------------------------------------------
Find hypotenuse
--------------------------------------------------
Given that the non-hypotenuse is 7√2
Hypotenuse = (7√2)(√2)
Hypotenuse = 7 x 2
Hypotenuse = = 14cm
--------------------------------------------------
Ans: The diagonal length is 14cm
