Answer 2

Answer:

➝10m.

Step-by-step explanation:

• While moving in a triangular path it forms a triangle therefore we can use the Pythagoras theorem.

$\bf {h}^{2} = {b}^{2} + {p}^{2} \\ \bf \: {h}^{2} = 6 {m}^{2} + {8m}^{2} \\ \bf \: {h}^{2} = 100 \\ \bf \therefore \: h = \sqrt{100} = 10 \: ans.$
