    Scale factor is given by:

    (length of larger figure) / (length of smaller figure) = (width of larger figure) / (width of the smaller figure) = 3.4

    The length of the larger figure will be given by:

    length = (scale factor) * (length of smaller figure)

    =3.4*6=20.4 cm

    width of the larger figure will be given by:

    width = (scale factor) * (width of smaller figure)

    =3.4*4.5

    =15.3 cm

    Therefore the dimension of the new parallelogram will be 20.4 cm by 15.3 cm
