Question : $\triangle$ABC is similar to $\triangle$DEF. If the area of $\triangle$ABC is 9 sq. cm and the area of $\triangle$DEF is 16 sq. cm and BC = 2.1 cm, then the length of EF will be:

Option 1: 5.6 cm

Option 2: 2.8 cm

Option 3: 3.7 cm

Option 4: 1.4 cm

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2.8 cm


Solution : Given:
$\triangle$ABC is similar to $\triangle$DEF.
So, $\frac{\text{Area of ABC}}{\text{Area of DEF}}=\frac{BC^2}{EF^2}$
⇒ $\frac{9}{16}=\frac{2.1^2}{EF^2}$
⇒ $EF^2=\frac{4.41×16}{9}$
⇒ $EF=\sqrt{\frac{4.41×16}{9}}$
$\therefore EF =2.8$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 2.8 cm.
