Look at the picture.

We have the equation:

$|EG|=|EF|+|FG|$

$(2x-10)+(4x-18)=20\\\\(2x+4x)+(-10-18)=20\\\\6x-28=20\ \ \ \ |+28\\\\6x=48\ \ \ \ |:6\\\\x=8\\\\|EF|=2(8)-10=16-10=6\\\\|FG|=4(8)-18=32-18=14$

<h3>Answer: x = 8, |EF| = 6, |FG| = 14</h3>

Dmitrij [34]

The answer is the second option, option B, which is: B. <span>W'(2,8), X'(2,2), Y'(8,2)
</span> The explanation is shown below:
You have the Triangle WXY has coordinates W(1,4), X(1,1), and Y(4,1) and the Triangle of the option B has coordinates W'(2,8), X'(2,2), Y'(8,2). As you can notice, the coordinates of the new triangle are the result of multiply the coordinates of the original triangle by a scale of factor of 2. Therefore, in other words, the Triangle WXY was dilated with a scale of factor of 2.
