An eagle leaves its nest and flies 5 miles east. then the eagle flies 3 miles north. to the nearest tenth, how far is the eagle from its nest?

Hello!

It appears that this is creating a triangle. It gives us leg lengths of 3 and 5. If we assume that this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. We add up the square of each of our numbers. Then we find the square root of our answer. Basically, a²+b²=c².

25+9=34

√34≈5.83

Therefore, the eagle is about 5.83 miles from its nest.

I hope this helps!
