20 boxes of chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out the total number of chocolates he has:

= 25 boxes * 24 chocolates per box

= 600 pieces of chocolate

The number of boxes needed if the chocolates are packed 30 in a box is:

= Total number of chocolates / Number of chocolates per box

= 600 / 30

= 20 boxes of chocolates

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
