Triangle ABC and DEF are similar. What is the length of DF?*

We know that the ratio of area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.

∴
area(△DEF)
area(△ABC)

=(
EF
BC

)
2

⇒
25
16

=(
EF

⇒

=
EF
2.3


⇒ EF=

2.3×5


∴ EF=2.875cm

(ii) We know that the ratio of area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.

∴
area(△DEF)
area(△ABC)

=(

⇒

⇒

=

∴ AB=1.91cm

(iii) We know that the ratio of area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.

∴
area(△DEF)
area(△ABC)

=(
DF

∴

area(△ABC)

=(

∴

(iv) We know that the ratio of area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides

∴
area(△DEF)
area(△ABC)

=(

∴ AB=4.65cm

(v) We know that the ratio of area of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.

∴
area(△DEF)
area(△ABC)

=(
DE
AB

)
2

∴
area(△DEF)
area(△ABC)

=(

∴
area(△DEF)
area(△ABC)

=

I’m going to infer you said parallel.solve for yy= -1/2x+7/4lines that are parallel have the same slope, different y intercept.so we know m is -1/2then from there solve for y intercept.
