Answer: 5.3 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
given data:
height the bird sat at on the tree = 6 meters.
height the bird flew to get to the top of the tree = 8meters.
Solution:
length of the tree =
using pythagoras theorem
adjacent = 6 hypotenuse = 8
opposite =?
Let opposite = x
Using the pythagoras theorem
opp² + adj² = hyp²
x² + 6² = 8²
x² + 36 = 64
x² = 64 – 36
x² = 28
x =√28
x = 5.3 meters
