SOLUTION


\begin{gathered} \text{The triangle has lengths } \\ 3x,7x\text{ and h} \\ \end{gathered}

To get h


\begin{gathered} h\text{ must be greater than difference betw}ee\text{n} \\ 3x\text{ and 7x} \\ \text{That is } \\ 7x-3x=4x \end{gathered}

And also


\begin{gathered} h\text{ must be less than the sum of 7x and 3x} \\ \text{That is } \\ 7x+3x=10x \end{gathered}

So

[tex]\begin{gathered} h>4x\text{ and } \\ h<10x \\ \text{Therefore } \\ 4x4x is less than h and h is less than 10x

The first option is therefore the correct answer
