The corresponding sides of ΔABC and ΔDEF have equal lengths. The area of ΔABC is 4 square units, and the longest side of ΔDEF is 5 units long. What is the area of ΔDEF? PLEASE HELP!!

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of ΔDEF will be  [tex]4[/tex] square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] is [tex]4[/tex] square units.

The corresponding side lengths of [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] and [tex]\triangle[/tex]DEF are equal.

That means, two triangles are congruent according to [tex]SSS[/tex] postulate.

So, their area will be also equal.

Thus, the area of ΔDEF will be  [tex]4[/tex] square units.
