Answer:

Given that Figure A and Figure B are similar polygons, the scale factor of Figure A to Figure B = 5/2.

Recall:

Similar Polygons have corresponding side lengths whose ratio are equal. That is, their pairs of corresponding sides are proportional.

The ratio of any of their corresponding side length = scale factor

Given the two pairs of similar polygons, the scale factor of figure A to figure B will be calculated as follows:

A side length of Figure A = 10

Corresponding side length of Figure B = 4

Scale factor of Figure A to Figure B = 10/4 = 5/2
