Answer:
<u>58 units</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
I decided that one side is 37 units and another is 2 units, since that would make the area 37 units. (you can also use 74 units and 1 unit)
Then I multiplied 37 by 5/4, which equals a new length of 46.25 units, and I also multiplied 2 by 5/4, which equals a new length of 2.5 units.
Finally, I solve for the area of the triangle:
1/2(46.25 x 2.5) ≈ <u>58 units</u> (rounded to the nearest whole number)
The formula for finding the length is

All we have to do is plug in the numbers.

36 + 64 = 100
Since 100 =

we have to find the square root.

The length of the slide is 10 feet.
It would be bigger than 1/2 inches because they are simply asking for the difference which is 5 1/2-5= 1/2.
