To identify the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B, we need to compare the dimensions of the two figures.

Figure A has a height of 12 inches, and Figure B has a height of 9 inches. The scale factor is calculated by dividing the dimension of Figure B by the dimension of Figure A:

\[
\text{Scale Factor} = \frac{\text{Dimension of Figure B}}{\text{Dimension of Figure A}} = \frac{9 \, \text{in}}{12 \, \text{in}} = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75
\]

So, the scale factor applied to Figure A to produce Figure B is **0.75**. This means Figure B is 75% the size of Figure A.

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. What would the scale factor be if Figure B was 6 inches instead of 9 inches?
2. How would the area of Figure B compare to the area of Figure A with this scale factor?
3. If the width of Figure A is 8 inches, what would be the width of Figure B?
4. How do you determine a scale factor when scaling up rather than down?
5. What happens to the perimeter when applying a scale factor to a shape?

**Tip:** When working with scale factors, remember that a scale factor less than 1 indicates a reduction, while a scale factor greater than 1 indicates an enlargement.
