Question

What is DF? Help me please :)

Answer 1

The value of DF = 20.

What is similarity?

Two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other.

Given:

Using theorem

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the area of both triangles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.

ΔSDF/Δ RTY = (SD/RT)= (DF/TY)=  (FS/ YR)

ar ΔSDF² / ar  ΔRTY² = 16/81

SD/ RT = 4/9

SD = 4x,  RT= 9x

SD= 8

4x = 8

x = 2

So,

RT=  9*2 = 18

SF = RT -2

SF = 16

(SD/RT)= (FS/ YR)

8 / 18 = 16/ YR

YR= 36

TY= 9 +RY = 45

(DF/TY)=  (FS/ YR)

DF / 45= 16/ 36

DF=20
