Answer:

B=30mm

Explanation:

According to the Question,

we have, A parallelogram that has one side(A) 5 millimeters and the other side(C) 10 millimeters. A larger parallelogram has side one side(D) 15 millimeters.

The Enlargement Parallelogram And Original Parallelogram Sides Ratio Remain the same.

Therefore, A/C = D/B

5/10 = 15/B

B=150/5

B=30mm
