To find the length of side WX, we first need to find the length of side ST in figure WXYZ.
Using the scale factor of 3:1, we can set up a proportion:
117 mm (ST) / 3 = x / 1
Solving for x, we get x = 117 mm / 3 = 39 mm
Now, since STUV and WXYZ are similar figures, the ratio of their sides is the same. Therefore, the length of side WX is 39 mm * 3 = 117 mm.
Therefore, the length of side WX is 117 mm.
Answer: A. 459 mm

Sure?
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it:
Given that the scale factor of figure STUV to figure WXYZ is 3:1.
ST = 117 mm and SV = 153 mm in figure STUV.
Let's find the corresponding sides in figure WXYZ.
SV in figure WXYZ = 3 * 153 mm = 459 mm
So, WX in figure WXYZ = ST in figure STUV = 117 mm
Therefore, the length of side WX is 117 mm.
Correct Answer: A. 459 mm
Given that the scale factor of figure STUV to figure WXYZ is 3:1.
ST = 117 mm and SV = 153 mm in figure STUV.
Let's find the corresponding sides in figure WXYZ.
SV in figure WXYZ = 3 * 153 mm = 459 mm
So, WX in figure WXYZ = ST in figure STUV = 117 mm
Therefore, the length of side WX is 117 mm.
Correct Answer: A. 459 mm
