    Height of slide = 0.936 m

    Explanation:

    Gravitational potential = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity x Height

    P. E = mgh

    Mass, m = 49 kg

    Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

    Height, h = ?

    Potential energy, P. E = 450 J

    Substituting

    P. E = mgh

    450 = 49 x 9.81 x h

    h = 0.936 m

    Height of slide = 0.936 m
