Answer:
- The measure of EF is 2.8 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
- ΔABC ~ ΔDEF.
Hence,
area of ΔABC / area of ΔDEF = BC² / EF²
[∵ In two similar triangles, ratio of their area is equal to the squares of ratio of their corresponding sides.]
⇒ 9 cm² / 16 cm² = (2.1)² / EF²
⇒ 9/16 = 4.41/EF²
⇒ 0.56 = 4.41/EF²
⇒ EF² = 4.41/0.56
⇒ EF² = 7.87
⇒ EF = √7.87
⇒ EF = 2.8 cm
∴ The measure of EF is 2.8 cm.
