If the length of XZ is \(\frac{6}{7}\) the length of the altitude 'h', the base of the triangle(XZ) is \(\frac{6z}{7}\)
We know that area is \(\frac{1}{2}\)*Base*Height
Therefore, Area = \(\frac{1}{2}\)*\(\frac{6z}{7}\)*z = \(\frac{3z^2}{7}\)(Option B)

Area = \(\frac{1}{2}\) \(* h * XZ\)
= \(\frac{1}{2} * h * \frac{6h}{7}\)
= \(3h^{2}/7\)
Answer: B
