Answer:

D) Figure ABCD is a dilation of figure WXYZ by a scale factor of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation is a geometric transformation that alters the size of a figure whilst preserving its shape, and is achieved by multiplying (or dividing) all its dimensions by a constant factor called the 'scale factor'.

Figures ABCD and WXYZ are both squares due to their equal side lengths and perpendicular adjacent sides.

Square ABCD has a side length of 5 units, while square WXYZ has a side length of 1 unit. Therefore, to transition from square WXYZ to square ABCD, we multiply the side lengths of WXYZ by 5. This implies that:

  • Figure ABCD is a dilation of figure WXYZ by a scale factor of 5.
