Answer:

w = 9

Explanation:

Since the 2 polygons are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is


(2)/(6) =
(3)/(w) ( cross- multiply )

2w = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )

w = 9

2:6 so simplify it 1:3. This means the scale ratio is 1:3 for the figures. To find w, sub in the 3 from the smaller figure to the ratio so 3×3=9, 3:9 w=9
