Answer 1

STEP - BY - STEP SOLUTION

What to find?

The similarity ratio of WXYZ to EFGD.

Given:

The ratio of WXYZ to EFGD can be determine by taking the ratio of any of the simila side of WXYZ to EFGD.

That is;

`Similarity\text{ ratio=}(WZ)/(ED)`

Since EFGD is a rectangle, using the property of the rectangle that state " opposite sides are congruent, we can deduce that ED = EG = 6

Hence,

`similarity\text{ ratio=}(WZ)/(ED)=(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)`

ANSWER

1/2
