A map of an airport is laid out in a coordinate plane. An aeroplane starts at a gate at (0, 0.1). To reach a runway, the plane travels West to (-0.4, 0.1), then south to ( -0.4, -0.8), and then west to ( -0.8, -0.8). What is the total distance to plane travels?

Take the numbers and divide them i believe

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
