Answer:


WZ=6\ in

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In his problem


(WZ)/(EH)=(WX)/(EF)

substitute the given values


(WZ)/(3)=(10)/(5)

solve for WZ


(WZ)/(3)=2


WZ=3(2)=6\ in
