Answer:

Option D. 15m

Explanation:

In the given right triangle b is the unknown leg.

we have to find the value of b.

By Pythagoras theorem in a right angle triangle

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

25² = 20² + b²

625 = 400 + b²

b² = 625 - 400

b² = 225

b = √225

b = 15 m

Option D. 15m is the answer.
