Answer:
Multiplied by the square of 1/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Base of the Parallelogram =7 meters
Height of the Parallelogram =5 meters
Area of a Parallelogram=Base X Height
=5 X 7 =35 Square meters
If both height and base are multiplied by 1/5
Base [tex]=7 X \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Height [tex]=5 X \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Area =7 X \frac{1}{5} X5 X \frac{1}{5}\\=35 X (\frac{1}{5})^2\\=1.4 m^2[/tex]
Whenever the base and height are multiplied by the same constant, the parallelogram has been scaled.
The same constant used is a scale factor and the area of the scaled parallelogram will be:
Area of the Shape X Square of the Scale Factor.
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is multiplied by the square of 1/5.
