If a storm window has an area of 400 square inches, what is the equation to find the
dimensions when the window is 12 inches higher than it is wide (x represents height)?

i think c. but don't trust it.

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
