In rectangle A, the length and breadth of rectangle A is


\begin{gathered} L=6 \\ B=4 \end{gathered}

In rectangle B, the length and breadth of rectangle B is


\begin{gathered} L=30 \\ B=20 \end{gathered}

So, the length and breadth of rectangle B is 5 times the length and breadth of rectangle A.

Hence, the scale factor will be 5.
