Thanks Bhavik, I really appreciate the detailed response. What you said makes a lot of sense, so I'll strongly consider not going with an optional essay.

Nvm, apologies for post above, I see that using ratio a/c = b/d, and the equation cd=4ab, we can rearrange to get d^2=4b^2, which means d=2b since they're both positive

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the explanation. I was just wondering why, once we know an area ratio between two similar triangles, do we always assume each side is proportionally the same...
i.e. Why is it that we know when ab=4xy, that a =2x and b=2y? Why can't we have a=(4/3)x and b=3y?
Thanks in advance!
