<em>Answer:</em>
<em>In problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. To find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.</em>

Answer:
19.2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1st Case:</u>
4 and 5 are legs of the right triangle.
Using the pythagorean therom: a^2+b^2=c^2
We can say that 4^2+5^2=x^2
16+25=x^2
41=x^2
x=√41
√41 is about 6.4
x=6.4
<u>2nd Case</u>
5 is the hypotenuse of the right triangle and 4 is the legs.
Using the pythagorean therom: a^2+b^2=c^2
We can say that 4^2+x^2=5^2
16+x^2=25
x^2=9
x=3
<u>Final Step</u>
We need to multiply the two possible lengths for x. So for case 1 the length of x was 6.4 and for case two the length was 3. 6.4*3=19.2

Answer:
18 inches or 1 foot 6 inches/1 foot and a half
Step-by-step explanation:
one foot is 12 inches long so you take the number of feet given (7—we'll worry about the half later) and multiply by the number of inches that are in a foot (12)
7×12=84
then half a foot is 6 inches so 84+6=90 inches
then we take 90 and divide it by 5 (to get the length of one piece)
90/5=18 inches
you can keep it as 18 inches or convert it into feet which you subtract 12 from 18, and you have 6 inches left which is 1 foot and a half
