Given : - Square ABCD with side 3. E and F as midpoints.
To find : - area of EBFD
Solution : - We have, area of square ABCD = 3 x 3 = 9 units.
Thus, (ar)EBFD = ar ABCD - ar DAE - arDCF
arDAE = 1/2 x base x height
=1/2 x 1.5 x 3 ( AE is 1/2 of AB = 1.5, DA is altitude)
= 2.25
arDFC = 1/2 x base x height
= 1/2 x 1.5 x 3 (FC is 1/2 of BC, DC is altitude)
= 2.25
Thus, (ar) EBFD = arABCD - arDAE - arDCF
= 9 - 2.25 - 2.25
= 4.5 units.
Thus, area of quad EBFD is 4.5 units.

This is the equivalent and it has no equal fraction counterpart
Answer: The correct option is (A). 3.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the scale factor of dilation from ΔABC to ΔDEF.
As shown in the figure, the lengths of the sides of ΔABC to ΔDEF are
AB = 5 units, BC = 4 units, CA = 3 units,
DE = 15 units, EF = 12 units, FD = 9 units.
We know that the scale factor is given by
Therefore, the scale factor of dilation from from ΔABC to ΔDEF is
Thus, the required scale factor is 3.
Option (A) is correct.
e=3.
So this is how I approached this. Since 7 is being multiplied, I divided both sides by 7 so 105/7 = 15. Then it becomes simple as 5e=15. We divide both sides by 5 and get e=3. Tip: just try isolating the variable and then life is much easier.
