D( Geese fly in V formation. The V forms a right angle that has 16 geese on 1 side and 12 geese on the other side. How many gesse would fill in the gap between the ends of each sides of the V formation?

20 gesse will fill the gap

Explanation:

We were told that the V forms a right angle which means the angle is at 90 degrees.

From trigonometry, for a right angle triangle we have the opposite, hypotenose and adjacent, then here the 12 side is the opposite and 16 sides is the adjacent, then the hypotenose will be the gap we are looking for using below expression

a²+ b²= c²

So,

12²+ 16²= c²

144 + 256 = c²

c=√(144 + 256)

c = √400

c=20

Therefore, 20 gesse will fly in the missing gap of the V formation.
