Final answer:

Without side lengths of the triangles, the scale factor between triangle AXYZ and triangle AUVW cannot be determined solely based on the given angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the scale factor of triangle AXYZ to triangle AUVW given the angles of both triangles, we would need to know the side lengths of the triangles in addition to the angles provided. Since the information provided includes angles but not side lengths, and the question does not conform to any specific standard problem that can be solved with given angles alone, we cannot ascertain the scale factor without additional information. In geometry, similar triangles will have corresponding angles that are equal and the lengths of their sides will be in proportion to each other. So if we know the sides of one triangle and at least one side of the other, we can find the scale factor by dividing the lengths of corresponding sides.
