Hello!

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem

[tex] a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} [/tex]

c is the hypotenuse which is the line across from the right angle
a and be are the other legs

Put in the values you know

[tex] a^{2} + 5^{2} = 7^{2} [/tex]

Square the numbers

[tex] a^{2} +25=49[/tex]

Subtract 25 from both sides

[tex] a^{2} = 24[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides

a ≈ 4.90

The answer is C) 4.90

Hope this helps!
