ti is 6 m because by applying pythagoras theorem the summation of squares of 5 and 3 is 36 and squareroot of 36 is 6 .so the height of the door from the ground is 6m.

Please can you give me it in photo form ..please
actually if we take the square root of 5 and 3 it would be 34 not 36 ...Anyways thax

Answer: It is 4 m considering Pythagoras' theorem stating that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other 2 lengths.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hypotenuse = 5 metres
y = 3 metres
x = ?
Hypotenuse^2 = 25
y^2 = 9
x^2 = 16
x = Root of 16
x = 4
