How would u convert 5 feet 6 inches in inches

1 feet is 12 inches.

We have 5 feet and 6 inches. First, let's convert the feet to inches. 5 times 12 is 60, so 5 feet is 60 inches.

Now add 60 inches to the 6 inches that we didn't mention. 60 plus 6 is 66. Thus, 5 feet and 6 inches is 66 inches.

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+
