A guess is that one square has 9 inch side and other square has 21 inch side.

"Primer" is meaningless. We do not have such a term. There is "prime" but this is not related to squares or rectangles.



The small square is 9*9 square inches for area.
_________________________________________81 square inches.


The bigger square is 21*21 square inches.
_________________________________________441 square inches.


Ratio of the bigger square area to the smaller square area:
441%2F81
%283%2A7%2A3%2A7%29%2F%283%2A3%2A3%2A3%29
%287%2A7%29%2F%283%2A3%29
hightlight%2849%2F9%29----ratio of areas, big to small squares
