It is recommended that an adult drink 64 fluid ounces of water every day .josey has already consumed 700 millimeters of water. how many more liters should he drink today

We know, 1 ounce = 29.57 ml

so, 64 ounces = 1892.71 ml

so, remaining drink would be: 1892.71-700 = 1192.71 ml

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+
