The scale factor between the two triangles can be found by comparing the corresponding side lengths.
For example, the corresponding sides are:
9 and 6 (scale factor of 6/9 = 2/3)
9 and 6 (scale factor of 6/9 = 2/3)
12 and 8 (scale factor of 8/12 = 2/3)
Therefore, the scale factor between the two triangles is two-thirds.
