Question

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?

Answer 1

if the corresponding sides are equal the 2 triangles are congruent ( by SSS) so their areas are the same.

So area of triangle DEF = 4 sq units

Explanation:

Answer 2

4 square units

Explanation:

If corresponding sides have equal lengths, the triangles are congruent by the SSS postulate. They must have equal areas: 4 square units.

ΔDEF has an area of 4 square units.
