Two $\triangle sABC $ and DEF are similar. If $ar(DEF)= 243\ cm^2, ar(ABC)=108\ cm^2$ and $BC= 6\ cm$. Find $EF$.

  1. $9$

  2. $81$

  3. $3$

  4. $72$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Given:-
$\triangle{ABC} \simeq \triangle{DEF}$
$ar \left( DEF \right) = 243 {cm}^{2}$
$ar \left( ABC \right) = 108 {cm}^{2}$
$BC = 6 cm$

To Find:- $EF = ?$

As we know that,
$\because \; \triangle{ABC} \simeq \triangle{DEF}$

$\cfrac{ar \left( \triangle{ABC} \right)}{ar \left( \triangle{DEF} \right)} = {\left( \cfrac{AB}{DE} \right)}^{2} = {\left( \cfrac{BC}{EF} \right)}^{2} = {\left( \cfrac{AC}{DF} \right)}^{2}$

$\therefore \; \cfrac{ar \left( \triangle{ABC} \right)}{ar \left( \triangle{DEF} \right)} = {\left( \cfrac{BC}{EF} \right)}^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \; \cfrac{108}{243} = \cfrac{{6}^{2}}{{EF}^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \; {EF}^{2} = \cfrac{243}{108} \times 36$

$\Rightarrow \; EF = \sqrt{81}$

$\Rightarrow \; EF = 9$

Hence, the correct answer is $9$.

$\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta DEF$ are similar and $\angle A=40^\mathring \ ,\angle E+\angle F=$

  1. $140$

  2. $40$

  3. $80$

  4. $180$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar.

$\angle A=\angle D$
$\angle D=40^{\circ}$
In triangle $\Delta DEF$
$\angle D+\angle E+\angle F=180^{\circ}$
$\angle E+\angle F=180^{\circ}-40^{\circ}=140^{\circ}$

STATEMENT - 1 : If in two triangles, two angles of one triangle are respectively equal to the two angles of the other triangle, then the two triangles are similar.
STATEMENT - 2 : If in two triangles, corresponding angles are equal, then their corresponding sides are in the same ratio and hence the two triangles are similar.

  1. Statement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is True, Statement - 2 is a correct explanation for Statement - 1

  2. Statement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is True : Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement - 1

  3. Statement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is False

  4. Statement - 1 is False, Statement - 2 is True


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 If in two triangles, two angles of one triangle are respectively equal to the two angles of the other triangle, then the two triangles are similar.

If in two triangles, corresponding angles are equal, then their corresponding sides are in the same ratio and hence the two triangles are similar.
Both the statements are correct but $2$ is not the reason for $1$
If two corresponding angles are equal then the third corresponding become also equal , so the triangles are similar.
Option $B$ is correct

If $\triangle ABC $ and $BDE$ are similar triangles such that $2AB = DE$ and $BC= 8$ cm, then $EF$ is
