उत्तर
Given: `Ar(Δ ABC)=9cm^2,AR(Δ DEF)=16 cm^2` and `BC= 2.1 cm`
To find: measure of EF
We know that the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.
`(Ar(Δ ABC))/(Ar(Δ DEF))=(BC)^2/(EF)^2`
`9/16=(2.1)^2/(EF)^2`
`3/4=2.1/(EF)`
`EF=2.8 cm`
Hence the correct answer is `a`

Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the road.
