Answer:
The area of ∆DEF = 4.5in²
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above diagram,
∆BAC ~∆DEF
It is important to note that if two triangles are similar, the ratio of their areas is equal or equivalent to the ratio of the areas of their sides
This means for the above question, that
We have the bigger triangle = ∆BAC has a side of 4 in and Area = 8 in²
The small triangle has a side of 3in
Finding the scale factor k = ratio of the sides of both Triangles
k = 4/3
k² = (4/3)²
k² = 16/9
Hence,
Area of ∆BAC/ Area of ∆DEF = 16/9
8in²/Area of ∆DEF = 16/9
We cross Multiply
8 in² × 9 = Area of ∆DEF × 16
Divide both sides by 16
Area of ∆DEF = 72/16
= 4.5in²
Therefore, the Area of ∆DEF rounded to the nearest tenth = 4.5in²
Answer:
What is the radius of the bubble?
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle ABE is isosceles / Given
AB congruent to AE / Def isosceles
angle ABE congruent to angle AEB / Property of isosceles triangles
angle ABD congruent to angle AEC / Subst different name for same angles
BD congruent to EC / Given
triange ABD congruent to triange AEC / Side Angle Side
I think the answer will be C
