Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Altitude - on - Hypotenuse theorem.
If an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, as is the case here, then
BD² = AD × DC, that is
h² = (25 - 16) × 16 = 9 × 16 = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )
h = [tex]\sqrt{144}[/tex] = 12 → B
