The height of the emu is 60 inches, which the problem says is 70 inches less than five times the height of the kakapo. You can use h to represent the height of the kakapo.

In the form of an equation, this is:

60 = 5h - 70

Simplifying the equation gives us:

130 = 5h

26 = h

So, the height of the kakapo is 26 inches.
