A taxicab charges $1.85 for the first quarter-mile and then $0.25 for every quarter mile after the first. The cost for a 17.5 mile trip is

$19.10

Step-by-step explanation:

So since he charges $1.85 for the first quarter mile we can keep that as it is for now. If we add 0.25 4 times to make it $1 that would be a mile. We just have to add $17.25 plus the original $1.85 fee

about $1

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+
