Answer 2

Answer:

BE is 44.8 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

If $\triangle YPM \sim \triangle WBE$, then we have the following proportion between corresponding sides

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

We know that $YP=15; PM=32; YM=30;WB=21$

Replacing this values and solving for $BE$ we have

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

$\frac{15}{21}=\frac{32}{BE}\\ \\BE=\frac{32(21)}{15}=44.8$

Therefore, BE is 44.8 inches long.
