Answer: 4 meters.

Step-by-step explanation: You need to set up the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. The c is the hypotenuse. A is 3 because it is the height. We are trying to find b, the distance from the flower to the tree. C is 5.

Plug in the numbers.

3^2 + b^2 = 5^2.

Simplify.

9 + b^2 = 25.

Isolate b by subtracting 9 from each side.

B^2 =16.

Square root each side.

B = 4.

The flower is 4 meters away from the base of the tree.

It is 4 meters from the base of the tree.
Imagine a right triangle. The right angle is formed by the line from the nest to the ground, and the line from the tree to the flower. The hypotenuse is the direct distance from the nest to the flower. The hypotenuse is 5 meters, and the height of the nest is 3 meters. If the distance from the flower to the base of the tree is X, then 3^2 + x^2 = 5^2. So, x = 4.

Which of the following represents x =1/3y written in general form?
Serhud [2]

If you would like to write x = 1/3 * y in general form, you can do this using the following steps:

The general form of the equation is: ax + by + c = 0.

x = 1/3 * y

x - 1/3 * y = 0


The correct result would be x - 1/3 * y = 0.
