Given:

A bird was sitting 16 feet from the base of an oak tree and flew 20 feet to reach the top of the tree.

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.

[tex]\text{Length of the oak tree}=16+20[/tex] feet

[tex]\text{Length of the oak tree}=36[/tex] feet

Therefore, the length of the oak tree is 36 feet.
