Answer: 7.5

Explanation:

first. 3, 4, 5 is a pythagorean triple in terms of triangle ABC.

to find this you do 3 squared plus 4 squared to find c, which the simplified radical of 25 is 5.

the proportion you would do:

A'B'/A'C' would be equal to AB/AC

so... A'B'/6 = 5/4

A'B' will equal 30/4 or 7.5.
