The area of ∆ABC is 100 square centimeters. The area of ∆DEF is square centimeters.

Sagot :

The area of the similar triangle named ∆DEF is; 4 square centimeters.

How to find the area of a similar triangle?

We are given that ∆ABC is similar to ∆DEF.

The perimeter of ∆ABC is five times the perimeter of ∆DEF.  Thus;

(Perimeter of ΔABC) = 5(Perimeter of ΔDEF)

Thus;

(Perimeter of ΔABC)/(Perimeter of ΔDEF) = 5

Thus, we can say that;

Scale factor, K = 5.

Since the area of ∆ABC is 100 square centimeters, Then;

(area of ∆ABC)/(area of ∆DEF) = K²

100/(area of ∆DEF) = 5² = 25.

(area of ∆DEF) = 100/25 = 4.

Thus, the area of ∆DEF is 4 square centimeters.

Complete Question is;

∆ABC is similar to ∆DEF. The perimeter of ∆ABC is five times the perimeter of ∆DEF. The area of ∆ABC is 100 square centimeters. The area of ∆DEF is square centimeters
