Explanation:

Step1: Find area of original figure

First, we can divide the original figure IJKLMNOP into two rectangles.
- Rectangle 1 (IJP O? Wait, let's look at coordinates. Let's find the dimensions. Let's list coordinates:
I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3)
Wait, maybe better to split into two rectangles: top part and bottom part.
Top rectangle: from I to J to K to L. Wait, I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9). Wait, no, maybe split into two rectangles: one with length 2 (x from 2 to 4) and height 4 (y from 3 to 7) and another with length 3 (x from 4 to 7) and height 7 (y from 2 to 9)? Wait, no, let's use the grid.
Alternatively, count the number of unit squares or use the formula for area of a composite figure.
Wait, let's find the length and width of the original figure. Wait, the original figure: let's see the horizontal length. From x=2 to x=7: that's 5 units? Wait, no, I is at (2,7), P is at (2,3), so vertical length from y=3 to y=7 is 4 units. Then from x=2 to x=4: width 2, and from x=4 to x=7: width 3. Wait, maybe the original figure is a composite of two rectangles:
Rectangle 1: x from 2 to 4, y from 3 to 7. So length 2, height 4. Area = 2*4 = 8.
Rectangle 2: x from 4 to 7, y from 2 to 9. Wait, no, N is at (4,2), M at (7,2), L at (7,9), K at (4,9). So that's a rectangle with length 3 (7-4=3), height 7 (9-2=7). Area = 3*7=21. Wait, but then O is at (4,3), P at (2,3). Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re-examine the coordinates:
I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3). So connecting these points:
From I(2,7) to J(4,7) to K(4,9) to L(7,9) to M(7,2) to N(4,2) to O(4,3) to P(2,3) to I(2,7).
So we can split this into two rectangles:
1. Top rectangle: I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), and then down to M(7,2)? No, wait, from L(7,9) to M(7,2) is vertical, then M(7,2) to N(4,2) is horizontal, N(4,2) to O(4,3) is vertical, O(4,3) to P(2,3) is horizontal, P(2,3) to I(2,7) is vertical.
Wait, maybe a better approach: use the shoelace formula.
Shoelace formula: for coordinates (x1,y1), (x2,y2), ..., (xn,yn), area is 1/2 |sum from 1 to n of (xi*yi+1 - xi+1*yi)|, where xn+1=x1, yn+1=y1.
Let's list the coordinates in order:
I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3), back to I(2,7).
So apply shoelace:
Compute sum of xi*yi+1:
(2*7) + (4*9) + (4*9) + (7*2) + (7*2) + (4*3) + (4*3) + (2*7)
Wait, no, shoelace formula is xi*yi+1 - xi+1*yi. Let's do it step by step:
x1=2, y1=7; x2=4, y2=7; x3=4, y3=9; x4=7, y4=9; x5=7, y5=2; x6=4, y6=2; x7=4, y7=3; x8=2, y8=3; x9=2, y9=7 (back to I).
Compute sum of xi*yi+1:
x1*y2 = 2*7 = 14
x2*y3 = 4*9 = 36
x3*y4 = 4*9 = 36
x4*y5 = 7*2 = 14
x5*y6 = 7*2 = 14
x6*y7 = 4*3 = 12
x7*y8 = 4*3 = 12
x8*y9 = 2*7 = 14
Sum of these: 14+36=50; 50+36=86; 86+14=100; 100+14=114; 114+12=126; 126+12=138; 138+14=152.
Now sum of yi*xi+1:
y1*x2 = 7*4 = 28
y2*x3 = 7*4 = 28
y3*x4 = 9*7 = 63
y4*x5 = 9*7 = 63
y5*x6 = 2*4 = 8
y6*x7 = 2*4 = 8
y7*x8 = 3*2 = 6
y8*x9 = 3*2 = 6
Sum of these: 28+28=56; 56+63=119; 119+63=182; 182+8=190; 190+8=198; 198+6=204; 204+6=210.
Now area of original figure is 1/2 |152 - 210| = 1/2 | -58 | = 29. Wait, that can't be right. Wait, maybe I messed up the order of the points. Let's list the points in order (clockwise or counter-clockwise):
I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3), I(2,7). Let's check the order: counter-clockwise? I to J to K to L to M to N to O to P to I. Yes, that's counter-clockwise.
Wait, maybe a better way: count the number of unit squares. Let's look at the grid. From x=2 to x=7 (5 units) and y=2 to y=9 (7 units), but with a notch? Wait, no, from P(2,3) to O(4,3) to N(4,2) to M(7,2) to L(7,9) to K(4,9) to J(4,7) to I(2,7) to P(2,3). Wait, maybe the original figure is a rectangle with length 5 (7-2=5) and height 7 (9-2=7), but with a smaller rectangle removed? Wait, no, from x=2 to x=4, y=3 to y=7: that's a rectangle of 2x4=8, and from x=4 to x=7, y=2 to y=9: that's 3x7=21, but then the overlapping? Wait, no, the total area should be 8 + 21 - overlapping? No, maybe not. Wait, the shoelace formula gave 29, but let's check with another method.
Alternatively, the original figure can be seen as a large rectangle minus a smaller rectangle. The large rectangle would be from x=2 to x=7 (width 5), y=2 to y=9 (height 7), area 5*7=35. Then the missing part is from x=2 to x=4, y=2 to y=3: that's a rectangle of 2x1=2. So 35 - 2 = 33? No, that doesn't match shoelace. Wait, I'm confused. Maybe I should look at the coordinates again.
Wait, I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3). So the vertical distance from P(2,3) to I(2,7) is 4 units (7-3=4). The horizontal distance from P(2,3) to O(4,3) is 2 units (4-2=2). Then from O(4,3) to N(4,2) is 1 unit (3-2=1). From N(4,2) to M(7,2) is 3 units (7-4=3). From M(7,2) to L(7,9) is 7 units (9-2=7). From L(7,9) to K(4,9) is 3 units (7-4=3). From K(4,9) to J(4,7) is 2 units (9-7=2). From J(4,7) to I(2,7) is 2 units (4-2=2).
So using the formula for the area of a composite figure by adding the areas of the two rectangles:
1. Rectangle 1: P(2,3), O(4,3), J(4,7), I(2,7). So length 2 (4-2), height 4 (7-3). Area = 2*4 = 8.
2. Rectangle 2: N(4,2), M(7,2), L(7,9), K(4,9). Length 3 (7-4), height 7 (9-2). Area = 3*7 = 21.
3. Rectangle 3: O(4,3), N(4,2), M(7,2), ... Wait, no, O(4,3) to N(4,2) is 1 unit, but that's already included? Wait, no, the figure is I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-I. So connecting these, the area is the area of rectangle 1 (I-J-P-O) plus the area of rectangle 2 (J-K-L-M-N-O)? Wait, no, J(4,7) to K(4,9) to L(7,9) to M(7,2) to N(4,2) to O(4,3) to J(4,7)? No, O is at (4,3), J at (4,7). So from O(4,3) to J(4,7) is vertical, length 4. So maybe the figure is:
- From I(2,7) to J(4,7) to K(4,9) to L(7,9) to M(7,2) to N(4,2) to O(4,3) to P(2,3) to I(2,7).
So we can split this into two rectangles:
1. Top rectangle: I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), and then down to M(7,2)? No, that's not a rectangle. Wait, maybe the original figure is a combination of two rectangles:
- Rectangle 1: I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3). Wait, this is getting too complicated. Maybe a better approach: use the scale factor. When a figure is dilated by a scale factor of k, the area is multiplied by k². So first, find the area of the original figure, then multiply by 4²=16.
Wait, let's find the area of the original figure correctly. Let's use the shoelace formula again, but with correct point order.
Points in order (counter-clockwise):
I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3), I(2,7).
Compute sum of xi*yi+1:
2*7 (I to J) + 4*9 (J to K) + 4*9 (K to L) + 7*2 (L to M) + 7*2 (M to N) + 4*3 (N to O) + 4*3 (O to P) + 2*7 (P to I)
Wait, no, shoelace formula is xi*yi+1, where yi+1 is the y-coordinate of the next point. So:
x1=2, y1=7; x2=4, y2=7 → x1*y2=2*7=14
x2=4, y2=7; x3=4, y3=9 → x2*y3=4*9=36
x3=4, y3=9; x4=7, y4=9 → x3*y4=4*9=36
x4=7, y4=9; x5=7, y5=2 → x4*y5=7*2=14
x5=7, y5=2; x6=4, y6=2 → x5*y6=7*2=14
x6=4, y6=2; x7=4, y7=3 → x6*y7=4*3=12
x7=4, y7=3; x8=2, y8=3 → x7*y8=4*3=12
x8=2, y8=3; x9=2, y9=7 → x8*y9=2*7=14
Sum of these: 14+36=50; 50+36=86; 86+14=100; 100+14=114; 114+12=126; 126+12=138; 138+14=152.
Now sum of yi*xi+1:
y1=7, x2=4 → 7*4=28
y2=7, x3=4 → 7*4=28
y3=9, x4=7 → 9*7=63
y4=9, x5=7 → 9*7=63
y5=2, x6=4 → 2*4=8
y6=2, x7=4 → 2*4=8
y7=3, x8=2 → 3*2=6
y8=3, x9=2 → 3*2=6
Sum of these: 28+28=56; 56+63=119; 119+63=182; 182+8=190; 190+8=198; 198+6=204; 204+6=210.
Area = 1/2 |152 - 210| = 1/2 * 58 = 29. So original area is 29.
Wait, but that seems low. Maybe I made a mistake in the point order. Let's try a different order: I(2,7), P(2,3), O(4,3), N(4,2), M(7,2), L(7,9), K(4,9), J(4,7), I(2,7). Let's apply shoelace:
x1=2, y1=7; x2=2, y2=3; x3=4, y3=3; x4=4, y4=2; x5=7, y5=2; x6=7, y6=9; x7=4, y7=9; x8=4, y8=7; x9=2, y9=7.
Sum of xi*yi+1:
2*3 (x1*y2) = 6
2*3 (x2*y3) = 6
4*2 (x3*y4) = 8
4*2 (x4*y5) = 8
7*9 (x5*y6) = 63
7*9 (x6*y7) = 63
4*7 (x7*y8) = 28
4*7 (x8*y9

Answer:

Step1: Find area of original figure

First, we can divide the original figure IJKLMNOP into two rectangles.

• Rectangle 1 (IJP O? Wait, let's look at coordinates. Let's find the dimensions. Let's list coordinates:

I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3)
Wait, maybe better to split into two rectangles: top part and bottom part.
Top rectangle: from I to J to K to L. Wait, I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9). Wait, no, maybe split into two rectangles: one with length 2 (x from 2 to 4) and height 4 (y from 3 to 7) and another with length 3 (x from 4 to 7) and height 7 (y from 2 to 9)? Wait, no, let's use the grid.
Alternatively, count the number of unit squares or use the formula for area of a composite figure.
Wait, let's find the length and width of the original figure. Wait, the original figure: let's see the horizontal length. From x=2 to x=7: that's 5 units? Wait, no, I is at (2,7), P is at (2,3), so vertical length from y=3 to y=7 is 4 units. Then from x=2 to x=4: width 2, and from x=4 to x=7: width 3. Wait, maybe the original figure is a composite of two rectangles:
Rectangle 1: x from 2 to 4, y from 3 to 7. So length 2, height 4. Area = 2*4 = 8.
Rectangle 2: x from 4 to 7, y from 2 to 9. Wait, no, N is at (4,2), M at (7,2), L at (7,9), K at (4,9). So that's a rectangle with length 3 (7-4=3), height 7 (9-2=7). Area = 3*7=21. Wait, but then O is at (4,3), P at (2,3). Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re-examine the coordinates:
I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3). So connecting these points:
From I(2,7) to J(4,7) to K(4,9) to L(7,9) to M(7,2) to N(4,2) to O(4,3) to P(2,3) to I(2,7).
So we can split this into two rectangles:

1. Top rectangle: I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), and then down to M(7,2)? No, wait, from L(7,9) to M(7,2) is vertical, then M(7,2) to N(4,2) is horizontal, N(4,2) to O(4,3) is vertical, O(4,3) to P(2,3) is horizontal, P(2,3) to I(2,7) is vertical.

Wait, maybe a better approach: use the shoelace formula.
Shoelace formula: for coordinates (x1,y1), (x2,y2), ..., (xn,yn), area is 1/2 |sum from 1 to n of (xiyi+1 - xi+1yi)|, where xn+1=x1, yn+1=y1.
Let's list the coordinates in order:
I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3), back to I(2,7).
So apply shoelace:
Compute sum of xi*yi+1:
(27) + (49) + (49) + (72) + (72) + (43) + (43) + (27)
Wait, no, shoelace formula is xiyi+1 - xi+1yi. Let's do it step by step:
x1=2, y1=7; x2=4, y2=7; x3=4, y3=9; x4=7, y4=9; x5=7, y5=2; x6=4, y6=2; x7=4, y7=3; x8=2, y8=3; x9=2, y9=7 (back to I).
Compute sum of xi*yi+1:
x1y2 = 27 = 14
x2y3 = 49 = 36
x3y4 = 49 = 36
x4y5 = 72 = 14
x5y6 = 72 = 14
x6y7 = 43 = 12
x7y8 = 43 = 12
x8y9 = 27 = 14
Sum of these: 14+36=50; 50+36=86; 86+14=100; 100+14=114; 114+12=126; 126+12=138; 138+14=152.
Now sum of yi*xi+1:
y1x2 = 74 = 28
y2x3 = 74 = 28
y3x4 = 97 = 63
y4x5 = 97 = 63
y5x6 = 24 = 8
y6x7 = 24 = 8
y7x8 = 32 = 6
y8x9 = 32 = 6
Sum of these: 28+28=56; 56+63=119; 119+63=182; 182+8=190; 190+8=198; 198+6=204; 204+6=210.
Now area of original figure is 1/2 |152 - 210| = 1/2 | -58 | = 29. Wait, that can't be right. Wait, maybe I messed up the order of the points. Let's list the points in order (clockwise or counter-clockwise):
I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3), I(2,7). Let's check the order: counter-clockwise? I to J to K to L to M to N to O to P to I. Yes, that's counter-clockwise.
Wait, maybe a better way: count the number of unit squares. Let's look at the grid. From x=2 to x=7 (5 units) and y=2 to y=9 (7 units), but with a notch? Wait, no, from P(2,3) to O(4,3) to N(4,2) to M(7,2) to L(7,9) to K(4,9) to J(4,7) to I(2,7) to P(2,3). Wait, maybe the original figure is a rectangle with length 5 (7-2=5) and height 7 (9-2=7), but with a smaller rectangle removed? Wait, no, from x=2 to x=4, y=3 to y=7: that's a rectangle of 2x4=8, and from x=4 to x=7, y=2 to y=9: that's 3x7=21, but then the overlapping? Wait, no, the total area should be 8 + 21 - overlapping? No, maybe not. Wait, the shoelace formula gave 29, but let's check with another method.
Alternatively, the original figure can be seen as a large rectangle minus a smaller rectangle. The large rectangle would be from x=2 to x=7 (width 5), y=2 to y=9 (height 7), area 5*7=35. Then the missing part is from x=2 to x=4, y=2 to y=3: that's a rectangle of 2x1=2. So 35 - 2 = 33? No, that doesn't match shoelace. Wait, I'm confused. Maybe I should look at the coordinates again.
Wait, I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3). So the vertical distance from P(2,3) to I(2,7) is 4 units (7-3=4). The horizontal distance from P(2,3) to O(4,3) is 2 units (4-2=2). Then from O(4,3) to N(4,2) is 1 unit (3-2=1). From N(4,2) to M(7,2) is 3 units (7-4=3). From M(7,2) to L(7,9) is 7 units (9-2=7). From L(7,9) to K(4,9) is 3 units (7-4=3). From K(4,9) to J(4,7) is 2 units (9-7=2). From J(4,7) to I(2,7) is 2 units (4-2=2).
So using the formula for the area of a composite figure by adding the areas of the two rectangles:

1. Rectangle 1: P(2,3), O(4,3), J(4,7), I(2,7). So length 2 (4-2), height 4 (7-3). Area = 2*4 = 8.
2. Rectangle 2: N(4,2), M(7,2), L(7,9), K(4,9). Length 3 (7-4), height 7 (9-2). Area = 3*7 = 21.
3. Rectangle 3: O(4,3), N(4,2), M(7,2), ... Wait, no, O(4,3) to N(4,2) is 1 unit, but that's already included? Wait, no, the figure is I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-I. So connecting these, the area is the area of rectangle 1 (I-J-P-O) plus the area of rectangle 2 (J-K-L-M-N-O)? Wait, no, J(4,7) to K(4,9) to L(7,9) to M(7,2) to N(4,2) to O(4,3) to J(4,7)? No, O is at (4,3), J at (4,7). So from O(4,3) to J(4,7) is vertical, length 4. So maybe the figure is:

• From I(2,7) to J(4,7) to K(4,9) to L(7,9) to M(7,2) to N(4,2) to O(4,3) to P(2,3) to I(2,7).

So we can split this into two rectangles:

1. Top rectangle: I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), and then down to M(7,2)? No, that's not a rectangle. Wait, maybe the original figure is a combination of two rectangles:

• Rectangle 1: I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3). Wait, this is getting too complicated. Maybe a better approach: use the scale factor. When a figure is dilated by a scale factor of k, the area is multiplied by k². So first, find the area of the original figure, then multiply by 4²=16.

Wait, let's find the area of the original figure correctly. Let's use the shoelace formula again, but with correct point order.
Points in order (counter-clockwise):
I(2,7), J(4,7), K(4,9), L(7,9), M(7,2), N(4,2), O(4,3), P(2,3), I(2,7).
Compute sum of xi*yi+1:
27 (I to J) + 49 (J to K) + 49 (K to L) + 72 (L to M) + 72 (M to N) + 43 (N to O) + 43 (O to P) + 27 (P to I)
Wait, no, shoelace formula is xi*yi+1, where yi+1 is the y-coordinate of the next point. So:
x1=2, y1=7; x2=4, y2=7 → x1y2=27=14
x2=4, y2=7; x3=4, y3=9 → x2y3=49=36
x3=4, y3=9; x4=7, y4=9 → x3y4=49=36
x4=7, y4=9; x5=7, y5=2 → x4y5=72=14
x5=7, y5=2; x6=4, y6=2 → x5y6=72=14
x6=4, y6=2; x7=4, y7=3 → x6y7=43=12
x7=4, y7=3; x8=2, y8=3 → x7y8=43=12
x8=2, y8=3; x9=2, y9=7 → x8y9=27=14
Sum of these: 14+36=50; 50+36=86; 86+14=100; 100+14=114; 114+12=126; 126+12=138; 138+14=152.
Now sum of yi*xi+1:
y1=7, x2=4 → 7*4=28
y2=7, x3=4 → 7*4=28
y3=9, x4=7 → 9*7=63
y4=9, x5=7 → 9*7=63
y5=2, x6=4 → 2*4=8
y6=2, x7=4 → 2*4=8
y7=3, x8=2 → 3*2=6
y8=3, x9=2 → 3*2=6
Sum of these: 28+28=56; 56+63=119; 119+63=182; 182+8=190; 190+8=198; 198+6=204; 204+6=210.
Area = 1/2 |152 - 210| = 1/2 * 58 = 29. So original area is 29.
Wait, but that seems low. Maybe I made a mistake in the point order. Let's try a different order: I(2,7), P(2,3), O(4,3), N(4,2), M(7,2), L(7,9), K(4,9), J(4,7), I(2,7). Let's apply shoelace:
x1=2, y1=7; x2=2, y2=3; x3=4, y3=3; x4=4, y4=2; x5=7, y5=2; x6=7, y6=9; x7=4, y7=9; x8=4, y8=7; x9=2, y9=7.
Sum of xi*yi+1:
23 (x1y2) = 6
23 (x2y3) = 6
42 (x3y4) = 8
42 (x4y5) = 8
79 (x5y6) = 63
79 (x6y7) = 63
47 (x7y8) = 28
47 (x8y9
