Your plane leaves Boston (Eastern Standard Time) at 7:00am, bound for Los Angeles (Pacific Standard Time). The flight takes 5 hours. What is time when you arrive in Los Angeles

The plane arrives Los Angeles at 9:00 am

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pacific Standard Time (PST) in Los Angeles is 3 hours earlier than the Eastern Standard Time (EST) in Boston

Therefore,

7:00 am at Boston = 4:00 am in Los Angeles

If the plane takes 5 hours

What is time when you arrive in Los Angeles

The plane arrives Los Angeles at 4:00 am + 5:00 hours

= 9:00 am

The plane arrives Los Angeles at 9:00 am

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
