A flying squirrel's nest is 12 feet high in a tree. From its nest, the flying squirrel glides 13 feet to reach an acorn that is on the ground. How far is the acorn from the base of the tree? Draw a picture and show your work.

the answer should be 5

if you draw a right triangle 12 would be the line that goes up (A) and 13 would be the slanted line (C) so that leaves the bottom line to be C.

hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.

correct answer was 0.5
