The side length would be 6

To find the area you would have to multiply the length times width. Since it’s a square, the length and width would have to be the same length. Therefore, the side length would be 6 since 6x6=36.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the area of the bottom rectangle. We see it's 4 high and 10 wide, so 4x10 is 40. Then, we see that the small figure in the top right has a height of 4 and width of 3, so 4x3 = 12, add those and you get 52.

Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length

We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.

We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{Shadow of statue}}=\frac{\text{Height of Wally}}{\text{Shadow of Wally}}$
