Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the scale factor applied to figure A, we need to divide the length of one side of figure B by its corresponding side on figure A. So, dividing 22.5 by 9, we get:


\text{scale factor = }(22.5)/(9)=2.5

Therefore, the scale factor applied to figure A to produce figure B is 2.5
