Answer:
D. 48 in.^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Sides DE and AB are corresponding, and the triangles are similar.
linear scale factor = k = AB/DE = 12/60 = 1/5
area square factor = k^2 = (1/5)^2 = 1/25
area of ABC = area of DEF * area scale factor = 1200 sq in * 1/25
area of ABC = 48 sq in
Answer: D. 48 in.^2
