A bag is filled with small and large marbles. The ratio of small to large marbles is 1:3. On your own sheet of paper, draw a tape diagram to represent this situation.
If there are eight more large marbles than small marbles, how many total marbles are in the bag?

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+
