Scale factor = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram EFGH is similar to Parallelogram JKLM

EF corresponds to JK

FG corresponds to KL

GH corresponds to LM

HE corresponds to MJ

scale factor = new length/old length

We are moving from EFGH to JKLM

JKLM = new image, EFGH = old image

Scale factor = JK/EF

Scale factor = 11.2cm/28cm = 0.4

OR

Scale factor =MJ/HE = 5.6cm/14cm = 0.4

Scale factor = 0.4
