There are 49 dogs signed up to compete in the dog show. there are 36 more small dogs than large dogs signed up to compete. how many small dogs are signed up to compete?

Number of small dogs signed up to compete is 42.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this by building an equation.

Lets take the number of small dogs is

Then,

The number of Large dogs will be

The total number of dogs signed up is given as 49.

Therefore,

Number of Small Dogs + Number of Large Dogs = 49

⇒ + = 49

=

=

=

=

Therefore, number of small dogs signed up to compete is 42.5. This is not possible as 0.5 dogs doesn't make sense. The data given could be wrong, in that case you can follow the same procedure and replace the data.

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
