Question

If a bird is sitting 30m along the first wall and a cat is 34m along the top of the other wall, how far apart are the cat and the bird?

Find the bearing of the bird from the cat also

Answer 1

Draw a right triangle. The cat represents a side, the bird represents a side. Then just use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Let a = cat; b = bird; then solve for c.
