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}^2'. In this case, the scale factor is 5.
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.Area scale factor = (Scale factor)2=52=25.
Area Comparison: Therefore, the area of Polygon B is 25 times larger than the area of Polygon A.
