Question

a fly is 5 cm of the ground and 12 cm away from a chameleon.The chameleon tongue flies out and catches the fly.How long is the chameleon toongue

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

(5)^2 +(12)^2 =(lenght of the tongue)^2

25+144=    "

169       =     ''

length of the tongue=13

Answer 2

Answer: 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the question is based on a right triangle

So the adjacent side will be5cm and base will be 12cm

Using Pythagoras theorm

AC^2 (  length of the tongue)  = AB^2 + BC^2

X^2 = 5*5 + 12*12

X^2 = 25 + 144

X^2 = 169

X = √169

X= 13

Therefore the length of the tongue will be13 CM
