Practicing Success
If △ABC ∼ △DEF such that 2AB = DE and BC = 8 cm, then the length of EF is: |
16 cm 18 cm 22 cm 20 cm |
16 cm |
As the ratio of corresponding side of similar triangle is equal, Therefore, As, \(\Delta \)ABC is similar to \(\Delta \)DEF ⇒ \(\frac{AB}{DE}\) = \(\frac{BC}{EF}\) ⇒ As we know, 2AB = DE ⇒ \(\frac{AB}{2AB}\) = \(\frac{8}{EF}\) ⇒ EF = 8 x 2 = 16 cm. Therefore, the value of EF is 16 cm. |
