Answer 2

`\text{Scale factor}=4`

Explanation:

We have been given that the figure B is a scaled copy of figure A. We are asked to find the scale factor of from figure A to figure B.

To find the scale factor, we will divide side length of figure B by its corresponding side in figure B.

We can see that side in figure B is 64 units and its corresponding side in figure A is 16 units.

`\text{Scale factor}=(64)/(16)`

`\text{Scale factor}=4`

Therefore, the scale factor is 4.
