The top running speed of a giraffe is 250% of the top speed of a squirrel. If a squirrel’s top running speed is 12 miles per hour, find the speed of a giraffe.

30

Step-by-step explanation: First take the fastest speed of the squirrel, and then you multiply it by the percentage (250%). You can this by moving on decimal point to the left from the zero (250% = 2.50). Then multply the speed of the squirrel by said percentage of the girrafe,

12 x 2.5 = 30

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
