Answer:

1. DF = 3.26

2. EF = 2.445

Explanation:

It is not stated, but I assume triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF.

With that assumption, then:

AB/DE = BC/EF = AC/DF

Now we substitute all the given numbers.

2/1.63 = 3/EF = 4/DF

Look at the first two fractions and solve for EF:

2/1.63 = 3/EF

2(EF) = 1.63 × 3

EF = 2.445

Look at the first and third fractions and solve for DF.

2/1.63 = 4/DF

2(DF) = 4 × 1.63

DF = 3.26
