Answer:

I think (C) is correct

Good afternoon

Answer 2

Answer:

A. 6 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Altitude = Perpendicular

P² + B² = H²     --According to Pythagoras theorem

P = 8

8² + B² = H²

64 = H² - B²

We have to try out every option.

Option B seems to fit in.

64 = 10² - 6²

64 = 100 - 36

64 = 64
