Solution

The correct option is C 4 cm
The given triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Hence, two sides are perpendicular to each other.
Also, these sides pass through one of the vertices of the triangle.

We know that altitudes are perpendiculars drawn from a vertex to opposite side.

$∴$ These are also the altitudes of the given triangle.

Hence, the dimensions are 3 cm and 4 cm.
