Mr. Goldberg gathered data about the distance in miles, that the teachers and bus drivers live from the school.
The box plot below shows these data.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The box plots both start at 5 the bus drivers go up to 30 in between the start and end while teachers go up to 35. basic addition proves that the teachers distance is 5 miles more then the bus drivers.

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
