A squirrel completing a short glide travels in a straight line tipped 40° below the horizontal. The squirrel starts 9.0 m above the ground on one tree and glides to a second tree that is a horizontal distance of 3.5 m away.

a. What is the length of the squirrel's glide path?

b. What is the squirrel's height above the ground when it lands?

Problem relate to the gliding flight of flying squirrels.
These squirrels glide from tree to tree at a constant speed, moving in a straight line tipped below the vertical and steadily losing altitude as they move forward. Short and long glides have different profiles.
