Answer: Scale of 2:1

Explanation:

All the angles are the same. So its the same polygon just bigger.

Line DA multiplied by a factor of 2 will make is as long as Line ZW.

Line AB multiplied by 2 will also make it equal to Line WX

From that we can assume that Lines XY and YZ are equal to Lines BC and CD
