Answer :

Solution

The information can be shown with the diagram below

Using Pythagoras theorem it follows

[tex]5^2=4^2+x^2[/tex]

Simplify the terms

[tex]25=16+x^2[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} 25-16=x^2 \\ x^2=9 \\ x=\sqrt[]{9} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the flower is 3 meters away from the bottwomog of the tree
