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.

Solve the system by substitution.<br><br> 6x + 3y = -6<br> 2x + y = -2
Mariana [72]
Solutions 

First Lets solve for this equation 6x + 3y = -6&#10; 

6x + 3y = -6&#10; 

6x+3(-2-2x)=-6&#10;&#10; &#10; 

-6=-6 

Therefore this given equation is a <span>dependent system.

2x+y=-2 

y=-2-2x&#10;&#10; &#10;&#10; &#10; 

There are too many solutions to these equations.
