Answer:

(b) DF = 3.04

Explanation:

You want the measure of DF in ∆DEF, which is similar to ∆ABC, given AB=11, AC=7.6, DE=4.4.

Similar triangles

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. This means ...

DF/DE = AC/AB

DF/4.4 = 7.6/11

DF = 4.4×7.6/11 = 3.04

The measurement of DF is 3.04, choice B.
