Answer:

1.5

Explanation:

of the similar shapes you are only given the lengths of two corresponding sides, 22mm and 33mm

if you do 33/22 you get 1.5 so your scale factor is 1.5

(in order to go from the original shape to the copy times by 1.5, and divide if you know the length of the copy and want to work out the original)
