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+

answer: (3,11) is your answer.

chemists are often responsible for designing a chemical reaction and analyzing the products obtained from it. one significant part of designing a chemical reaction is determining the amount of each reactant that is needed and the amount of each product that will be produced. in order to do so, chemists use stoichiometry, the quantitative relationships between reactants and products.
