Answer:
Option B
8.7m
Explanation:
Given,
Base of the triangle
![= √(26m)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/7ycuxrfnaolbpqv8f19kqa9xae3xybt5w1.png)
Height of the triangle = 7m
Therefore, According Pythagoras Theorem,
![{hypotenuse}^(2) = {base}^(2) + {height}^(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/wqs4e16vstpzj3vykind4b1dxi7pzrfnjr.png)
![= > {h}^(2) = {( √(26)) }^(2) + {7}^(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/ifgxlznjc6ebyozigq06cjut5k1t1dmegt.png)
![= > {h}^(2) = 26 + 49](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/lumjo3gqohvmc4t6ku13f0pwmfcyxq60xj.png)
![= > {h}^(2) = 75](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/9s55kp6w0dsgofv6qt6gj67pjfklcul0fr.png)
![= > h = √(75)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/2mwk7saxug3e597j91zelj74wexnvlzbgi.png)
=> h = 8.6602540378
As we convert to nearest tenth so we check the Hundreth digit i. e.
8.6602540378
As 6 is greater than 5 so,
8.7 m (Ans)
