Answer 2

Answer:

The length of BE is 44.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: $\triangle YPM\sim \triangle WBE$, $YP=15$ inches,  $PM=32$ inches,$WB=21$ inches and  $YM=30$ inches.

Two triangle are similar if corresponding interior angles are same and corresponding sides are proportional.

Since $\triangle YPM\sim \triangle WBE$, therefore

$\frac{YP}{WB}=\frac{PM}{BE}=\frac{YM}{WE}$

$\frac{15}{21}=\frac{32}{BE}$

$BE\times 15=32\times 21$

$BE=\frac{32\times 21}{15}$

$BE=44.8$

Therefore the length of BE is 44.8 inches.
