Answer 3

Before we proceed, I want to know if this is a multiple choice question or a write your own response @idontunderstand

Answer 4

Alright so when we're dilating the parallelogram by a scale factor of 3

that basically means, we take each point of the parallelogram

if the point is (x, y)
the new point when we dilate it by 3 will be `(3x, 3y)`

we just multiply the x-value by 3 and y-value by 3

Answer 5

So can you tell me the points of our parallelogram?

We have 4 points. Point R, S, T and U

What is the x and y coordinate of Point R?
