To find:
The length of the tree.
Solution:
A bird was sitting 16 feet from the base of an oak tree.
Vertical distance between bird and base = 16 feet
Then the bird flew 20 feet to reach the top of the tree.
Now, the vertical distance between bird and base = (16+20) feet
So, length of the oak tree is it the sum of 16 feet and 20 feet.
