In a woodworking class, you need to make five triangles out of plywood. Each triangle has a height of 6 inches and a base of 14 inches. Which equation can you use to solve for the total amount of plywood you will need?

5 * (1/2 * 6 * 14)= x

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+
