Question

If parallelogram PQRS is dilated by a scale factor of 4 with a center of dilation at the origin, what is the area of parallelogram P'Q'R'S'?

Need to know asap!! 
Thanks so much :)

Answer 1

The answer to this question is 48 because i'm doing the assignment right now. SO the answer is 48(D)

Answer 2

The scale factor needs to be squared first before multiplying it to the area of parallelogram PQRS to find the area of dilation P'Q'R'S'. So in other words,

Area of P'Q'R'S' = 4² x Area of PQRS = 16 x Area of PQRS
