Answer:

12.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this.  The first triangle side over the same side of the 2nd triangle.

50 inches      25 inches

-------------- = -------------

25 inches         x inches

Using cross products

50x = 25*25

Divide each side by 50

50x/50 = 25*25/50

x =12.5

Answer: ~27.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know about all the geometry terms, but since a line is 180°, and SE makes 1 right angle (90°), the other side is also 90° (180-90=90).

This means you have a right triangle with sides 15 and 23 and unknown hypotenuse AS.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(15^2) + (23^2) = AS^2

sqrt( 225 + 529 ) = AS

AS = 27.459
