Answer:

The length of the ladder would be 32 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the missing value, we create a proportion. We can do this by making two fractions -- the numerator being the depicted length and the denominator being the actual length.

(1.5/4) = (12/x)

Since we don't know the actual length of the ladder, we put it in as x. Now we can cross multiply to solve.

(1.5/4) = (12/x)

1.5*x = 4*12

1.5x = 48

x = 32

Question 15 of 15Taniah is trying to find the area of the following square whereWY=10. What is the area?
joja [24]

The area of a square given its diagonal (d) is computed as follows:

A=\frac{1}{2}d^2

In this case, the diagonal is 10 units long, then the area is:

\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot10^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot100 \\ A=50\text{ square units} \end{gathered}
