Q12 of 95 Page 6

In the given figure, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF. If AB = 2DE and area of ΔABC is 56 sq. cm, find the area of ΔDEF.

Given: ΔABC ~ ΔDEF and AB =2DE

And area of ABC is 56 sq. cm


We know that, the ratio of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.



[given]




⇒ ar(∆DEF) = 14sq cm
