Final answer:

To find the perimeter of the enlarged parallelogram, use the scale factor to calculate the length of each side and then add them up.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the enlarged parallelogram, we need to know the scale factor by which it has been enlarged. Let's say the scale factor is 'k'.

The perimeter of the original parallelogram is 70 m. So, each side of the original parallelogram will be 70/4 = 17.5 m. Since the scale factor is 'k', each side of the enlarged parallelogram will be k * 17.5 m.

Therefore, the perimeter of the enlarged parallelogram will be (k * 17.5) + (k * 17.5) + (k * 17.5) + (k * 17.5) = 4k * 17.5 m = 70k m.
