Similarity ratio is also called the scale factor and is defined by the ratio of the lengths of the sides in two similar polygons:

[tex]\begin{gathered} SF=\frac{lenght\text{ of right square}}{\text{lenght of left square}} \\ SF=\frac{\frac{39}{2}}{13} \\ SF=\frac{3}{2}\text{ or 1.5} \end{gathered}[/tex]
