Answer:

[tex]\sqrt{203}m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right triangle.

According to the Pythagoras Theorem; The length of the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter legs.

Let the unknown shorter side be [tex]l[/tex] meters, then

[tex]11^2+l^2=18^2[/tex]

This implies that;

[tex]121+l^2=324[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow l^2=324-121[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow l^2=203[/tex]

Take positive square root of both sides;

[tex]l=\sqrt{203}[/tex]

The correct choice is D
