The area of triangle A B C is twelvesquare centimeters. Each of the dimensions of triangle D E F is 3 times the dimension of triangle A B C. What is the area of triangle D E F? Triangle A B C and triangle D E F are placed side-by-side. They are both similar triangles. Triangle A B C is smaller than triangle D E F. 4 square centimeters thirty-six square centimeters seventy-two square centimeters one hundred eight square centimeters

\[ABCcm ^{2}\] \[3(ABC)cm ^{2}=DEFcm^{2}\]
its right there^
Find the area of triangle ABC and then multiply it with 3 to get the area of triangle DEF.

U haven't mentioned the numbers so how can i find the area u have just wrote the MCQ's
ok i know this but u must tell the base, height of the triangle ABC then only i can find it na
no these are the area's \[cm^{2}\] square centimeters is the SI unit of area not the sides the dimensions must be in cm's
ok so u r not understanding it
yes
i thought it was 36
Its clearly written that triangle ABC is smaller than triangle DEF |dw:1401721726699:dw| 3 times means the area of ABC is 3x(the area of ABC)
so for this u must the the area of ABC
or the area of DEF
the are of abc is 12 ww have to find out def
ok so 3x(12) u'll get the area of DEF thats what asked in question right?
\[36cm ^{2}\]
area\[=3^2*12=9*12=108 cm^2\]
