Answer 2

The length of BE is 44.8 inches.

Explanation:

Given information:
`\triangle YPM\sim \triangle WBE`,
`YP=15` inches,
`PM=32` inches,
`WB=21` inches and
`YM=30` inches.

Two triangle are similar if corresponding interior angles are same and corresponding sides are proportional.

Since
`\triangle YPM\sim \triangle WBE`, therefore

`(YP)/(WB)=(PM)/(BE)=(YM)/(WE)`

`(15)/(21)=(32)/(BE)`

`BE* 15=32* 21`

`BE=(32* 21)/(15)`

`BE=44.8`

Therefore the length of BE is 44.8 inches.
