Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The image of polygon MNOP after a similarity transformation is polygon WXYZ each side of MNOP is two times as long as the corresponding side of WXYZ .
i.e. [tex]MN=2WX[/tex] [ Since MN corresponds WX ]
We know that for any two similar geometric figures, the scale factor is the ratio of their corresponding sides .
i.e.
[tex]k=\dfrac{MN}{WX}\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=\dfrac{2WX}{WX}\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=2[/tex]
Hence, the the scale factor of the dilation in the similarity transformation =2
