Answer:

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
