Answer:

The area of ΔDEF will be
4 square units.

Explanation:

The area of
\triangle ABC is
4 square units.

The corresponding side lengths of
\triangle ABC and
\triangleDEF are equal.

That means, two triangles are congruent according to
SSS postulate.

So, their area will be also equal.

Thus, the area of ΔDEF will be
4 square units.
