Answer:
8
24
3
yes
Explanation:
the original area of the figure is 4 ยท 2 which equals 8.
Since the dilation that is needing to be done is by a scale factor of 3 then all we need to do is multiply the original area by 3, which gives us the new area 24.
So because the only transformation was a dilation that didn't significantly change the figure then we can say that both figures are similar.
