Answer:

12.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this.  The first triangle side over the same side of the 2nd triangle.

50 inches      25 inches

-------------- = -------------

25 inches         x inches

Using cross products

50x = 25*25

Divide each side by 50

50x/50 = 25*25/50

x =12.5
