Question

Look at the illustration.
What is WX?

Answer 1

O 0.5 units

Explanation:

so the first thing we have to do is to calculate for the dilation factor. Taking point G as the reference point, we can see that the distance of point G from rectangle W'X'Y'Z is 1.5 while the distance from rectangle WXYZ is (1.5 + 7.5) = 1.5 / 9 = 1/6

Since WX has an initial measure of 3 units, therefore the measure of W'X' is:

W'X' = 3 units *(1/6) = 0.5 units
