    Question

    ∆ABC and ∆DEF are similar and their areas are respectively 0.64 m2 m^2​ and 0.0121 m2m^2​. If EF = 0.154 m, then BC is:

    A.

    1.15 m

    B.

    11.2 m

    C.

    1.12 m

    D.

    2.12 m

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    ∆ABC ~ ∆ DEF
    ar(ABC)=0.64 m2m^2​​
    ar(DEF)=0.0121 m2m^2​​
    EF=0.154m
    Formula Used:
    ar(ABC)ar(DEF)=AB2DE2=BC2EF2=AC2DF2\frac{\text{ar}(\triangle ABC)}{\text{ar}(\triangle DEF)} = \frac{AB^2}{DE^2} = \frac{BC^2}{EF^2} = \frac{AC^2}{DF^2} 

    Solution:

    ar(ABC)ar(DEF)=BC2EF20.640.0121=BC2(0.154)20.640.0121=0.80.11BC=81.1×0.154BC=8×0.14=1.12 m\frac{\text{ar}(\triangle ABC)}{\text{ar}(\triangle DEF)} = \frac{BC^2}{EF^2} \\\frac{0.64}{0.0121} = \frac{BC^2}{(0.154)^2} \\\sqrt{\frac{0.64}{0.0121}} = \frac{0.8}{0.11} \\BC = \frac{8}{1.1} \times 0.154 \\BC = 8 \times 0.14 = 1.12 \, \text{m}
