perpendicular = 5 - (-3) = 5+3 = 8
base = 4 - (-2) = 4+2 = 6

Now, Apply the Pythagoras theorem,
H² = P² + B²
H² = 8² + 6²
H² = 64 + 36
H = √100
H = 10 units

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

It is ten units, as the two sides are of 6 and 8 so you must square them both, add them together (which gives you 100) and then square root that, which gives you 10
