A vulture sitting on top of a tower 20 meters high sees a snake on the ground 100 meters away from the foot of the tower. The vulture at once swoops down in a slant straight line to catch the snake, crawling at a uniform speed of the bird is the same as that of the, find where the bird catches the snake?

Draw a right angle triangle with perpendicular = 20m and base = 100m now find the hypotenuse = ✔️(20^2 + 100^2) = ✔️400+10000= ✔️10400= 101.98 answer

by making the figure it would be clear
by the figure its clear that we will use pythagorous theorem
(20)²+(100-x)²=x²
solving the above equation you will get 2 answers of x one of them would be -ve while the other would be +ve we will neglect the -ve part and take the +ve part to solve further
now the required answer is (100-x)
mark as best if you got it
