Answer:

The ratio of smaller rectangle to larger is 1 : 8.

Explanation:

Given that:

Area of smaller rectangle = 25 square feet

Area of larger rectangle = 200 square feet

Ratio of areas of these similar rectangles;

Smaller rectangle : Larger rectangle

25 : 200

1 : 8

Hence,

The ratio of smaller rectangle to larger is 1 : 8.
