A hummingbird’s nest is 6 meters high in a tree. A flower is on the ground 14 meters away from the base of the tree. How far will the hummingbird need to fly to get from its nest to the flower if it takes a direct path?

15.23 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem given describes the shape of a right angled triangle.

From the diagram below:

The height of the tree is the opposite = 6 m

The distance of the flower from the base of the tree = adjacent = 14 m

The distance the bird must fly to get from the nest to the flower = hypotenuse = h

According to Pythagoras rule:

Therefore:

The bird will have to fly 15.23 m to get from its nest to the flower in a direct path.

step-by-step explanation:

so the possibilities of the measurement of the side of the triangle are either it is longest side or not the longest side

when it is the longest side

s < 25 + 35s < 60

if it is not the longest side

35 < 25 + s10 < sso 10 < s < 60so the perimeter70 < p < 130
