Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two parallelograms positioned in different ways. One shows the longer side along the base, and the other is tilted upward to the left, with a longer vertical side. The first parallelogram shows one parallel side as 5 inches and the adjacent side as 3.5 inches. The second parallelogram shows one parallel side as 0.7 inches and the adjacent vertical side as 1 inch.
Kamla draws the parallelogram on the left and then uses a scale factor to create the parallelogram on the right. All measurements are in inches. What scale factor does he use?

The scale factor used by Kamla to create the parallelogram on the right can be calculated by dividing the corresponding side lengths of the two parallelograms.
For the first parallelogram, the longer side along the base is 5 inches and the adjacent side is 3.5 inches.
For the second parallelogram, the corresponding sides are given as 0.7 inches and 1 inch.
So, the scale factor would be 0.7/5 = 0.14.
However, none of the given answer choices match this calculation. Therefore, it seems that there might be a mistake in the information or the answer choices provided.
