Answer:

Option A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: FH is the altitude to the hypotenuse EG

To find: length of FH

Solution:

According to Pythagoras theorem, square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of squares of other two sides.

In [tex]\Delta EHF[/tex],

[tex]\angle EHF=90^{\circ}[/tex]

So,

[tex]EF^2=EH^2+FH^2[/tex]

Put EH = 6 units and EF = 7 units

[tex]7^2=6^2+FH^2\\49=36+FH^2\\49-36=FH^2\\13=FH^2[/tex]

Option A is correct

Take square root on both sides

[tex]FH=\sqrt{13}=3.606\,\,units[/tex]
