Answer:
The bird has to fly 7.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see diagram in attached image.
Notice that there is a right angle triangle that defines the situation, and you know two elements of such triangle;
1) one acute angle (), and
2) the side opposite to that angle.
What you need to find is the side adjacent to the angle, which is what the bird needs to fly horizontally to be above the fish. We named that "x".
The trig function that relates such triangle elements is the tangent:
which rounded to the nearest tenth is: 7.5 m

<h3>What is Bearing Angle ?</h3>It is the horizontal angle between the object and another object.
It is given that the car starts from point travels for 30km on a bearing of 145, then 10 km on a bearing of 250
(a) the distance travelled from the starting point
It can be understood from the diagram that
To determine the distance , b is to determined4
By applying Cosine rule
b² = a² +c²-2ac cos
b² = 10² +30² - 2* 30*10 cos75
b² = 100+900 -600* 0.2588
b² = 100-155.2914
b² = 844.7
b = 29 km
Therefore the distance travelled from the starting point is 29 km.
(b) the bearing of the starting point from the car.
To determine the bearing ,
angle C has to be determined
By sine rule
sin C / c = sin B / b
sin C = sin 75 * 30 / 29
sin C = 0.9970
C = sin⁻¹ 0.9970
C = 85.59 degree
angle C = α +70 degree
α = 15.59 degree
Bearing = 70 + 20 + 9 0 + 90+74 = 244 degree
