Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf H=18.4\ cm}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Base = 7 cm

Perpendicular = 17 cm

Hypotenuse = H

Using Pythagoras theorem.

[tex](Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2\\\\(H)^2=(7)^2+(17)^2\\\\(H)^2=49+289\\\\(H)^2=338\\\\Take \ sqrt \ on \ both\ sides\\\\\sqrt{(H)^2} =\sqrt{338} \\\\H=18.4\ cm\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
