You did not attach any picture to solve this problem. We cannot calculate for the value W’X’ without the correct illustrations. However, I think I found the correct one (see attached), please attach it next time.

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), therefore the dilation factor to use is:

dilation factor = 1.5 / (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

 

Answer:

0.5 units

Given that rectangle WXYZ was dilated to create rectangle W'X'Y'Z', therefore, W'X' = 0.5 units.

What is Dilation?

When an image is dilated, it means the size of the image or figure is reduced or enlarged by a scale factor.

Scale factor of dilation = dimension of new image/dimension of original image.

Given that WXYZ was dilated to cerate W'X'Y'Z, therefore:

Scale factor = 1.5/(1.5 + 7.5) = 0.16

Therefore:

W'X' = WX × scale factor.

Substitute

W'X' = 3 × 0.16 = 0.5 units.

In summary, given that rectangle WXYZ was dilated to create rectangle W'X'Y'Z', therefore, W'X' = 0.5 units.
