Answer 1

Given

The pyramids are given with small and large size.

The sides of the pyramid given

9 and 18.

12 and 24.

Step-by-step explanation

To determine the similarity ratio of the pyramids.

Find the ratio of the corresponding sides.

`\begin{gathered} (9)/(12)=(18)/(24) \\ (3)/(4)=(3)/(4) \end{gathered}`

It is clear that the ratio of corresponding sides are same.

Answer

Hence the similarity ratio of the smaller to the larger similar pyramids is

`3\colon4`
