Answer:

180 units

Explanation:

The perimeter of ∆XYV is ...

Pxyv = XY +YV +VX

Pxyv = 29 +31 +40 = 100

The triangles are similar, so the scale factor from ∆XYV to ∆XZW applies to the perimeter. That scale factor is ...

WX/VX = (32+40)/40 = 1.8

Then ...

Pxzw = 1.8 × Pxyv = 1.8 × 100

Pxzw = 180 . . . units
