An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 1 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refinery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 7 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $500,000/km over land to a point P on the north bank and $1,000,000/km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how far (in km) from the refinery should P be located?

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
