Question

rectangle wxyz was dilated using the rule d_{z,\frac{12}{5}}. what is wx? o 8 units o 10 units o 12 units o 14 units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation formula

Length of new segment = scale - factor×length of original segment.

Step2: Identify original length and scale - factor

Original length of WX is 5, scale - factor is $\frac{12}{5}$.

Step3: Calculate new length

$W'X'=\frac{12}{5}\times5 = 12$.

Answer:

12 units
