Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount that Lantana town needs for a new playground is 14,000 dollars.

Lantana Elementary School raised 5,358 dollars, Lantana Middle School raised 2,834 dollars and Lantana High School raised 4,132 dollars. The total amount that was raised by each school is

5358 + 2834 + 4132 = $12324

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+
