Please help! I've been on this question for more than an hour...

You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.

What is the probability of picking a 3 and then picking a 3?

Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

25% of picking it up the first time and if u didn't pick it up you'll have a 33.3% the second time

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

+2+=+%2836%2fx%29%5e2+

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

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