Figure A has a perimeter of 169 feet and figure B has a perimeter of 13 feet. What is the scale factor from figure A to figure B
-----------------------------------------------------------

The question makes sense only in the case if the figures are similar.

Then the scale factor is 169%2F13 = 13.

If the figures are not similar, the question doesn't make sense.
