            Although it is not declared in the post,  it is clear from the context ,  that the right-angled triangle
             is a part of the rectangle,  which is cut by one of the two diagonals. 


The sum of lengths of two adjacent sides of the rectangle is 68/2 = 34 cm.


It is nothing else as the sum of two legs of the triangle.


THEREFORE, the hypotenuse (which is the diagonal of the rectangle) is


    60 - 34 = 26 cm.    ANSWER

Solved.
