Height of the triangle is 5 m.

Explanation

Formula for the area of a triangle....

A= (1)/(2)(base)*(height)

Given that the triangle has base 7 m and area 17.5 m².

Lets assume the height of the triangle as

According to the above formula...

$17.5=(1)/(2)(7)*(h)\\ \\  17.5*2=7h\\ \\ 35=7h\\ \\ h= (35)/(7)=5$

So, the height of the triangle is 5 m.
