DA = 4 cm

Concept used:

Concept of similarity

Calculation:

F3 ArunK Madhuri 17.01.2022 D3

Here ΔABC ∼ ΔBDE [∵ DE || AC and ∠B is common for two triangles]

So,

ΔABC/ΔBDE = 72/32

ΔABC/ΔBDE = 49/9

ACED = ΔABC - ΔBDE

⇒ 49 - 9 = 40

∴ Ratio is 9 : 40

∴ Then Area of ΔBDE : Area of trapezium ACED is 9 : 40
