Greetings!

Here is how we simplify the following expression:

First, convert the mixed number into a improper fraction. Not sure how to do that? Here is a guide:

→ Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction:

⇒

→ Add the product to the numerator of the fraction:

⇒

The improper fraction would be:

Flip the numerator and denominator to turn the division into multiplication:

Multiply the numerators of the fractions by each other. Complete the same thing with the denominators. Example:

The Answer is:

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+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

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