Question

The segment below is the image of start overline, W, X, end overline
WX
after dilation by a scale factor of 55.What is the measure of start overline, W, X, end overline
WX
?

Answer 1

To find the measure of segment \( \overline{WX} \) after a dilation by a scale factor of 55, we need the original length of \( \overline{WX} \) before the dilation.

If we denote the original length of \( \overline{WX} \) as \( L \), then the length after dilation can be calculated using the formula:

\[
\text{New Length} = \text{Original Length} \times \text{Scale Factor}
\]

Therefore, the new length of \( \overline{WX} \) would be:

\[
\text{New Length} = L \times 55
\]

If you have the original length \( L \) of \( \overline{WX} \), you can simply multiply that value by 55 to find the new length after dilation.

If \( L \) is not provided, please specify the original length so that we can perform the calculation.
