A bag contains marbles. Some are blue and the rest are red. There are 3 blue marbles for every red marble. How many blue marbles are in the bag?

Doubling the red marbles means that each 2 red marbles will be replaced by 4 red marbles. So after doubling the red marbles for each 3 blue marbles there will now be 4 red marbles, giving a new ratio of 3:4.

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
