<em>Let the dimension of one side of the smaller prism be: l and w</em>
<em>Let the dimension of one side of the bigger prism be: L and W</em>
<em />
So, we have:
The area of these corresponding sides are:
---- the first
While, the area of the second is:
The ratio of these two sides are:
<em>This gives</em>
Cancel out common terms
Express as fractions
Also, we have:
This gives
