The bagels are topped with a thin layer of cream cheese. Assume the thickness of the cream cheese is the same on both bagels. How many times more cream cheese will be required for the dilated bagel as for the original? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

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
