Given:

AB = 9 cm, AC = 11 cm, DF = 16 cm and DE = 12 cm

Concept used:

When two triangles are similar, their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are proportional.

Calculation:

As ΔABC ~ ΔFDE

F3 SSC Arbaz 8-8-2023 D17

So, AB/DF = BC/DE = AC/FE

Now,

AB/DF = BC/DE

⇒ 9/16 = BC/12

⇒ BC = (9 × 12)/16

⇒ BC = 27/4

⇒ BC = \(6\frac{3}{4}\) cm

∴ The length of BC is \(6\frac{3}{4}\).
