53.7
53.7
Answer

Answer 1

I need to confirm the scale factor, since the problem text is ambiguous. Using the given side VW = 53.7:

- If the scale factor is 3/4, then V'W' = (3/4)·53.7 = 40.275 (≈ 40.28).
- If the scale factor is 4/3, then V'W' = (4/3)·53.7 = 71.6.

Which scale factor did you mean?
