We can use the Pythagorean formula for this problem.

a²+b²=c²

Where c is the hypotenuse, a and b are the two legs of the right angle triangle.

Given that, one leg: a=8, hypotenuse : c=√113. So, we can plug in these values in the above formula to get the length of other leg:b.

8²+b²=(√113)²

64+b²=113 Since,(√113)²=113

b²=113-64 Subtract 64 from each sides.

b²=49

b=√49 Taking square root to each sides to isolate b.

b=7

So, the length of other leg is 7.

Hence, the correct choice is option A.
