Question

Each dimension of a parallelogram is multiplied by a positive number n. Write an expression for the area of the new parallelogram. Let b represent the base and h represent the height of the original parallelogram. Expression for the area of the new parallelogram:

Answer 1

Area of the new parallelogram = n(b × h)

Explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = Base × Height

Let

b = the base

h = the height of the original parallelogram.

Each dimension of a parallelogram is multiplied by a positive number n.

Write an expression for the area of the new parallelogram.

Area of the new parallelogram = Base × Height

Base = b * n

bn

Height = h * n

= hn

Area of the new parallelogram = bn × hn

= n(b × h)

Area of the new parallelogram = n(b × h)
