call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+

127

whether it's diameter, or radius, i believe if i remember correctly from school, every amount has to always add up to 180. so if you take 53, and starting adding, long story short, taking 127 and adding it to 53, gives you 180.
