One positive number is 6 more than twice another. If their product is
1736, find the numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's note a and b the two numbers.

We can write that

a = 6 + 2b

ab = 1736

So

We are looking for positive numbers so the solution is b = 28

and then a = 6 +2*28 = 62

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

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+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
