Now, ∠ADE = ∠ABC and ∠AED = ∠ACB [Corresponding angles]
In △ ADE and △ ABC, we have
∠ADE = ∠ABC,
∠AED = ∠ACB and
∠A = ∠A [Common]
So, △ ADE ~ △ ABC [By AAA similarity]
⇒
Given,
⇒
Now, adding 1 on both sides,we get
⇒
or
Again, In △ DEF and △ BCF, we have
∠EDF = ∠BCF [Alternate interior angles]
∠DFE = ∠BFC [Vertically opposite angles]
and ∠DEF = ∠FBC [Alternate interior angles]
So, △ DEF ~ △ BCF [By AAA similarity

△ADE∼△ABC
∴∠D=∠B
&∠E=∠C
∠A is common.
So,
AD/AB=AE/AC=DE/BC=49
Now, In△DEF and △BFC
∠D=∠C and
∠B=∠E
So, △DEA∼ △BFC
In similar triangles ratio of areas is equal to the ratio of square of corresponding sides.
area of area of △DEFarea of △BFC=DE2BC2
=42/92=16/81
