mean = 174.7 cm
standard dev = 0.6 cm
value = 173.9 cm
173.9 - 174.7 = -0.8
-0.8/0.6 = -1.333 standard deviations, or 1.333 standard deviations to the left of the mean. Our z-score, the number of standard deviations away from the mean, here is thus -1.333.
The probability, aka the chance we'll get values to the right of a z-score of -1.333 is 0.0918 using the z-score table. This means that the probability obtaining values greater than this, or greater than 173.9 cm, is 1 - 0.0918 = 0.9082 which is your answer.
