Answer:

The area of triangle DEF is 9 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle ABC and DEF are similar and the ratio of the side lengths in triangle ABC to triangle DEF is 1:3.

Let the length of their sides be x and x respectively.

If two triangles are similar then the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their sides.

Since triangle ABC and DEF are similar, therefore

\frac{Area(ABC)}{Area(DE F)}=\frac{(x)^2}{(3x)^2}

\frac{1}{Area(DE F)}=\frac{(x)^2}{9(x)^2}

Cancel out the common factors.

\frac{1}{Area(DE F)}=\frac{1}{9}

On cross multiplication, we get

1\times 9=1\times Area(DE F)}

9=Area(DE F)}

Therefore the area of triangle DEF is 9 square units.

Part A:

From the graph, it seems that the lines intersect at (3,-1)... This seems to be the solution... 


Part B: 
g(x) is a negative line, and the slope is 2 (from rise/run). Y int. = 5. So, the equation is -2x+5. Plug in some numbers for this; say 1 and 2. The coordinates would be (1,3) and (2,1). 

Part C: 
The 2 graphs seem to intersect at (0,5), so this is the solution... 

ALL of this is based on only looking at the graph, which is no better than drawing lines on the sand.. For example, the y intercept for g(x) could be 4.9 or 5.1, and I don't know the equation for f(x)... Based on the info I have,  gave my best answers.. 

Hope this helps..
