Answer:
9.33 feet = 111.96 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have similar triangles, the rate between matching sides is the same.
So the length of the smaller ladder (18 ft) over the length of the taller ladder (24 ft) is equal to the distance from the bottom of the smaller ladder to the tree (7 ft) over the distance from the bottom of the taller ladder to the tree (x ft):
18 / 7 = 24 / x
x = 7 * 24 / 18
x = 9.33 feet
To find this measure in inches, we just need to multiply by 12:
x = 9.33 * 12 = 111.96 inches
