Given the statement:

Hayden is 59 inches tall and is standing on top of a ladder that is 2 yards

Determine the distance of Hayden's head to the ground.

Solution:

In order to determine the distance of Hayden's head to the ground we simply add the height of the ladder, and the height of Hayden. First we must convert yards to inches.

1 yard  = 36 inches

= (2 yards)(36 inches/1 yard)

= 72 inches

= 59 inches + 72 inches

= 131 inches

Final answer:

= 131 inches
