Answer 1

you have to multiple 16 i think

Answer 2

`\left(A\right)(1)/(2)`

`\left(B\right)x=5.5\ feet`

Explanation:

`\left(A\right)\ Scale\ factor\ =(8)/(16)=(1)/(2)`

`\left(B\right)\ Sides\ are\ propertional\ for\ similar\ polygon`

`(8)/(16)=(x)/(11)`

`x=(11)/(2)`

`x=5.5\ feet`

I hope this helps you
