Answer:

2UX (your answer is correct)

Explanation:

One way to define a parabola is as the set of points equidistant from the focus and directrix.

That means the distance from W to the directrix must be the same as the distance WU. Since the parabola is symmetrical and WU is parallel to the directrix, we have WU = UT = UX. So the double length WT is double the distance UX:

WT = 2UX
