Use the pieces at the right to construct a two column proof

a. the are of the rectangle is 18.25

b. 18.25 times two is 36.50

rae me : d

use this formula:

p(a\b) = p(a and b)/p(b).

take it from here.

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
