Answer:

The direct distance between the birds is 12.64 miles.

Explanation:

We have, one bird flew 12 miles west and another bird flew 4 miles north. It is required to find the direct distance between the birds. It means we need to find the resultant of two displacement. It can be given by :


d=√(12^2+4^2) \\\\d=12.64\ \text{miles}

So, the direct distance between the birds is 12.64 miles.
