ANSWER

Given that Δ ABC ~ ΔDEF

solve for x

To proof

as given in the question

ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

this means their sides are proportional to each other.

thus


(AB)/(AC) = (ED)/(DF)

As given

AB = 30unit

AC = 24unit

ED = 5unit

DF = x

put in the above


x = (5*24)/(30)

solving

x = 4 unit

option (C) is correct

Hence proved
