The scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A.

What is the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B?

The picture in the attached figure

we know that

A dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

In this problem Figure A and Figure B are similar

so

To find

out the scale factor, determine the ratio of its vertical corresponding sides

The vertical side of figure A is 4 units

The corresponding side in figure B is 2 units

$\sf\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

The scale factor is less than 1

so, The dilation is a reduction.

therefore, The scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is 1/2.
