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

we know that

major arc is defined as the bigger arc connecting two points on the edge of a circle. measure of major arc is always more than ° or π radian

in this problem

the mayor arc is bac

find the ratio of the measure of the major arc to the measure of the minor arc

therefore

the answer is the option
