Answer 1

Answer:  Tail of Haley's lizard is longer than Caleb's lizard by 1.08 cm.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of Haley's anole lizard = 14.5 cm

Length of Caleb's anole lizard =12.34 cm

According to question, we know that an anole lizard tail is half its length , so

Length of tail of  Haley's anole lizard is given by

$\frac{14.5}{2}=7.25\ cm$

Length of tail of Caleb's anole lizard is given by

$\frac{12.34}{2}=6.17\ cm$

We get that tail of Haley's anole lizard is longer than Caleb's anole lizard by

$7.25-6.17=1.08\ cm.$

So, Tail of Haley's lizard is longer than Caleb's lizard by 1.08 cm.
