Length:

Blue rectangle = 3 ft

Green rectangle = 6 ft

The ratio of the length of the blue and green rectangles is only the division of them:

ratio(blue to green length) = 3 ft / 6 ft = 1/2

Width:

Blue rectangle = 2 ft

Green rectangle = 4 ft

The ratio is:

ratio(blue to green width) = 2 ft / 4 ft = 1/2

Now, for the perimeter, we know that this is equal to the sum of all the sides of the rectangle.

Perimeter:

Blue rectangle = 2 ft + 2 ft + 3 ft + 3 ft = 10 ft

Green rectangle = 4 ft + 4 ft + 6 ft + 6 ft = 20 ft

The ratio is:

ratio(blue to green perimeter) = 10 ft / 20 ft = 1/2

Finally, for the area:

Area:

Blue rectangle = 2 ft * 3 ft = 6 ft²

Green rectangle = 4 ft * 6 ft = 24 ft²

The ratio is:

ratio(blue to green area) = 6 ft² / 24 ft² = 1/4
