AE = x=4.875, and EC = 13-4.875 = 8.125. If I place point E at a distance of 4.875 units from A on AC-that is, E15.875, 1)-then the ratio of the segments into which e divides AC is equal to
the ratio of AD to DB.
Question 3
Place point that you found in Question 2 on AC. Draw a line passing through D and E, and measure and record the slopes of DE and BC.

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
