Answer:
Area of ΔDEF is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
ΔABC and ΔDEF is similar and ∠B ≅ ∠E.
Length of AB =
and
Length of DE = 
Area of ΔABC = 
Solution,
Since, ΔABC and ΔDEF is similar and ∠B ≅ ∠E.
Therefore,

Where triangle 1 and triangle 2 is ΔABC and ΔDEF respectively.
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.

Thus the area of ΔDEF is
.
If you put in the substitutions it would be 2*2-(2*2*4)+(3*2)-(-4*2)+(2*4).
Simplified further by multiplying it would be 2*2-8+6--8+8
the negative 8 could be simplified further since the negatives cancel out so you'll have 2*2-8+6+8+8.
Then using the order of operations you would multiply the 2's together first to get 4 so you have 4-8+6+8+8.
After that it's simple addition giving you an answer of -26.
I'm not sure if you're looking for the final answer or just the equation with substitutions but there's both.
To square means to multiply something by itself. A variable is a letter such as x. So a squared variable=x×x=x^2.
I hope that helped.
(1.2×10^2) + (3.04×10^5)
They must be to the same power to add
3.04 *10^5 to change to the 2nd power (5-2=3) move the decimal 3 places to the right = 3040. * 10^2
1.2 * 10^2 + 3040 *10^2=
add the numbers keep the exponents the same
3041.2 * 10^2
there can only be 1 number before the decimal in scientific notation so we need to move the decimal 3 places to the left, which adds 3 to the exponent
3.0412 * 10 ^ (2+3)
3.0412 * 10^5
