To find the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B, we compare the corresponding side lengths of the two figures. 

From the image:
- The longest side in Figure A is 33.
- The corresponding longest side in Figure B is 11.

Now, calculate the scale factor using the ratio of corresponding side lengths:

\[
\text{Scale Factor} = \frac{\text{Side length of Figure B}}{\text{Side length of Figure A}} = \frac{11}{33} = \frac{1}{3}
\]

Thus, the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is **1/3**.
