Answer:

12.5 cm

Explanation:

Triangle IDA is a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 5. That is, segment AI is 25 cm long. Since IS is half the length of the diagonal, it is ...

IS = (25 cm)/2

IS = 12.5 cm

__

If you like, you can work out the length of AI using the Pythagorean theorem:

AI² = DI² +DA²

AI = √(15² +20²) = √(225 +400) = √625 = 25
