△PQR maps to △VWX with the transformation (x, y) (x + 3, y − 1) (3x, 3y).

If WX = 12, what does QR equal?

(I made the error show for additional help into solving this)

Answer:

The measure of QR is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that △PQR maps to △VWX.

The transformation is defined as

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (x+3.y-1)\rightarrow (3x,3y)[/tex]

It means first transformation is translation and second transformation is dilation.

Translation is a rigid transformation. It means the corresponding sides of image and preimage are same.

Dilation is defined as

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)[/tex]

From the given rule it is clear that the value of k is 3 it means the dilation factor is 3. It means the corresponding sides of image are 3 times of the preimage.

[tex]k=\frac{WX}{QR}[/tex]

[tex]3=\frac{12}{QR}[/tex]

[tex]QR=4[/tex]

Therefore the measure of QR is 4.
