Question

Aubrey claims that if the dimensions of the parallelogram shown are doubled then the area of the larger parallelogram will be 4 times more than the original which statement about her claim is completely true ?

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

True

Explanation:

Even though we cannot see the parallelogram, we can assume the dimensions of the original parallelogram is height= 3 and base= 6.

If we double the dimensions, we get:

height=6 band base=12.

The area of the original parallelogram is 18 square units.

The area of the enlarged parallelogram is 6×12= 72 square units.

Now,

`(72)/(18) = 4`

Hence, the area of the larger parallelogram is 4 times more than the original.
