The diagonal length of a rectangular prism can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is:
diagonal length = √(height^2 + width^2 + length^2)
Plugging in the given values:
diagonal length = √(12^2 + 3^2 + 4^2)
= √(144 + 9 + 16)
= √169
= 13 cm
Therefore, the length of the diagonal of the prism is 13 cm.
