A flying squirrels nest is 5 meters high in a tree from its nest the flying squirrel glides 13 meters to reach an accorn that is on the ground how far is the acorn from the base of the tree

The answer to your question is 12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

height = 5 m

the distance the squirrel flyed= 13 m

the distance from the three to the acorn = ?

Process

1.- To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem

             c² = a² + b²

c = 13

a = 5

b = x

2.- Solve for b

                     b² = c² - a²

3.- Substitution

                     b² = 13² - 5²

4.- Simplification

                     b² = 169 - 25

                     b² = 144

5.- Result

                     b = 12 m

6.- The distance from the three to the acorn is 12 m

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
