Jessie is playing a game and bets $5 on the come out roll. If a 7 or 11 is rolled, she wins $5. This happens with a probability of 29. If a 2,3,or12 is rolled, she loses her $5. This has a probability of 19. If any other number is rolled, she does not win or lose, and the game continues. Find the expected value for Jessie on the come out roll.

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
