Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

The given side lengths are not clear enough:

So, I will give a general explanation.

From the question, we understand WXYZ is dilated to produce W'X'Y'Z

This implies that the sides of WYZY is multiplied by the scale factor (k) to give W'X'Y'Z'

i.e.


ZW *k =Z'W'

Divide both sides by k to get side length ZW


ZW = (Z'W')/(k)

Assume that:


k = 4 and


Z'W' = 28


ZW = (Z'W')/(k)


ZW = (28)/(4)


ZW = 7

Apply these steps and you will get your answer
