  1. Concept of Scaling: We know that when a figure is scaled by a factor of ' extit{k}', the area of the figure is scaled by a factor of ' extit{k}^22'. In this case, the scale factor is 55.
  2. Area Scale Factor Calculation: To find out how many times larger the area of Polygon B is compared to Polygon A, we need to square the scale factor.\newlineArea scale factor = (Scale factor)2=52=25(\text{Scale factor})^2 = 5^2 = 25.
  3. Area Comparison: Therefore, the area of Polygon B is 2525 times larger than the area of Polygon A.
