Answer: Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
Here; Looking at it we can state that it is a Right angled triangle.
And must use the Pythagoras relation if the triangle is a Right angled triangle.
So, let's work on it.
Let ABC be a triangle.
Taking reference angle as C, we get;
perpendicular= 3m
Hypotenuse= 7m
Base = xm
Now;
[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]or \: b = \sqrt{ {h}^{2} - {p}^{2} } [/tex]
Put all values.
[tex]b = \sqrt{ {7}^{2} - {3}^{2} } [/tex]
Simplify to get answer.
[tex]b = \sqrt{49 - 9} [/tex]
[tex]b = \sqrt{40} [/tex]
Therefore, X= 6.3m.
Hope it helps...
