let length of the rectangle be L and breadth be B

so by the problem perimeter 2(IL+B)=34

=> L+B =17 .......(1)

=> L2+B2+2LB=289 ..........(2)

and the square of the diagonal = L2+B2=13=169 .....(.3)

By (3) and (2) we get 2LB = 120

So (L- B)2= L2+B2-2LB = 169-120=49

=> L-B =7  .........(4)

hence by (1)and(4) we get 2B = 10 and B = 5

So breadth B = 5 cm
