\"s\"= side length for the smaller square
\n" ); document.write( "\"S\"= side length for the larger square
\n" ); document.write( "\"s%2FS=2%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "1) \"4s\"= perimeter for the smaller square
\n" ); document.write( "\"4S\"= perimeter for the larger square
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of the perimeters is
\n" ); document.write( "\"4s%2F4S=%284%2F4%29%28s%2FS%29=1%2A%282%2F3%29=2%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2) \"s%5E2\"= area for the smaller square
\n" ); document.write( "\"S%5E2\"= area for the larger square
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of the areas is
\n" ); document.write( "\"s%5E2%2FS%5E2=%28s%2FS%29%5E2=%282%2F3%29%5E2=2%5E2%2F3%5E2=4%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "NOTE: For similar shapes (two squares, two cubes, two circles, two spheres, etc),
\n" ); document.write( "all measures of length (side, perimeter, radius, diameter, circumference, etc) are in the same ratio.
\n" ); document.write( "If that ratio is \"r\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of corresponding areas is \"r%5E2\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and the ratio of corresponding volumes is \"r%5E3\" .
\n" ); document.write( "That works for any kind of shape, as long as one is a scaled up or scaled down version of the other.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
