Answer:

times 2 ( x 2 )

Explanation:

These two quadrilaterals are similar because figure A's sides are 20 times less than figure B's sides. Figure A's top base is 22 while figure B's top base is 44. To find the value of figure B's side, we multiply by 2. All the sides of figure A will be similar to the figure B if multiplied by 2.

Therefore, scale factor of figure A to figure B is multiply by 2.

hope this helps...
