Quadrilateral UVWX is dilated by a scale factor of 3/4 end fraction to form quadrilateral U'V'W'X'. What is the measure of side XU?

Answer 1

Let the measure of side XU in quadrilateral UVWX be x.

After dilating by a scale factor of 3/4, the corresponding side in quadrilateral U'V'W'X' will be (3/4)x.

Therefore, the measure of side XU in quadrilateral U'V'W'X' will be (3/4)x.

So, the measure of side XU in quadrilateral U'V'W'X' is 3/4 times the measure of side XU in quadrilateral UVWX.

Therefore, in this case, the measure of side XU in quadrilateral U'V'W'X' is (3/4)x or 3/4 of the original length.
