The area of a square is given by x squared, length where x is the length of one side. mary"s original garden was in the shape of a square. she has decided to double the area of her garden. write an expression that represents the area of mary"s new garden. evaluate the expression if the length of mary"s original garden was 8 feet

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+

25.45584

i believe the answer is 323 ft
