Ms. Smolkey went on a shopping spree and spent $524. Now she has no more than $100 in her bank account (and she weeps). Write an inequality to represent the amount of money in Ms. Smoleys bank account account before the shopping spree.

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+
