Question

Rectangle WXYZ was dilated to create W'X'Y'Z'. Point G is the center of dilation. Rectangle W X Y Z was dilated to create smaller rectangle W prime X prime Y prime Z prime. The length of G Z prime is 1.5. The length of Z prime Z is 7.5. Side W X is 3 units and side X Y is 6 units. What is W'X'? 0.5 units 1.2 units 1.5 units 1.8 units

Answer 1

It is .5 on edge

Explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

0.5 units

Explanation:

The dilation factor is ...

(GZ')/(GZ) = (GZ')/(GZ' +Z'Z) = 1.5/(1.5 +7.5) = 1/6

Side WX is 3 units, so side W'X' is (1/6)(3 units) = 1/2 units

W'X' is 0.5 units.
