we have that
smaller figure
ha=8.7
ra=1.6

larger figure
hb=10.44
rb=1.92

ha/hb=8.7/10.44----> 0.83
ra/rb=1.6/1.92-------> 0.83

ratio smaller figure to the larger figure
1.6/1.92-------> divided by 1.6 both members
[1.6/1.6]/[1.92/1.6]-------> 1/1.2

the ratio ha/hb is equal to the ratio ra/rb
so
the smaller figure and the larger figure are similar
and the ratio smaller figure to the larger figure is equal to----> 1/1.2

the answer is
the option
yes 1/1.2
