Answer:

  18√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle sharing a vertex with the larger one is similar and half the area. That means its linear dimensions are √(1/2) = (√2)/2 times those of the larger triangle.

The line segment of interest has length ...

  36 × (√2)/2 = 18√2

_____

The ratio of area of similar figures is the square of the ratio of their linear dimensions. Thus the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the ratio of area.

vfiekz [6]

Answer: -1 1/3

She asked me where I was from

I said "Somewhere you never been to"

Little town outside of Knoxville

Hidden by some dogwood trees

She tried talkin' with my accent

We held hands and waded into

That blue water

She left her flip-flops by my Red Wings on the beach

[Chorus]

Yeah but, now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heart-broke Desperado, headin' right back to my roots

Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed mе tells me she'd lovе Eastern Tennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots

[Verse 2]

I said "Let's go shoot tequila"

So we walked back to that beach bar

She said "Don't cowboys drink whiskey?" (huh)

So we drank bottom shelf

She said ", that sky looks perfect"

I said "Girl, you've never seen stars like the ones back home"

And she said "Maybe I should, see 'em for myself"

[Chorus]

Yeah, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heart-broke Desperado, headin' right back to my roots

Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed me tells me she'd love Eastern Tennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots

[Bridge]

I said meet me in the mornin'

And she told me I was crazy

Yeah, but I still thought that maybe she'd show up

[Chorus]

Oh, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heart-broke Desperado, headin' right back to my roots

Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed me tells me she'd love Eastern Tennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots

Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots
