The length of squirrel's glide path is 4.6 m.

The squirrel starts from the point A of the tree 1 and glides along a straight line path AC at an angle 40° to the horizontal. It lands on another tree situated at a horizontal distance of 3.5 m from the first tree.

Refer the diagram attached.

In the ΔABC, ∠ACB =40° ( alternate interior angles)

cos(ACB)=\frac{BC}{AC}

Therefore,

AC=\frac{BC}{cos(ACB)}

Substitute 3.5 m for BC and 40°for ∠ACB.

AC=\frac{BC}{cos(ACB)}\\ =\frac{3.5 m}{cos40^o} \\ =4.5689m

The length of the squirrel's glide path is 4.6 m
