The bird and the fish are 40 meters apart.
To find the distance between the bird and the fish, we need to add their respective distances from the surface:
Distance of bird to the surface = 28 meters
Distance of fish to the surface = 12 meters
Therefore, the total distance between them is:
Distance = Bird's distance + Fish's distance = 28 meters + 12 meters = 40 meters
Therefore, the bird and the fish are 40 meters apart.
Complete question:
If the bird is directly above the fish, how far apart are they? Remember the fish was 12 meters below the surface and the bird is 28 meters above the surface.
