In the first big triangle let take base as 8 and for the second triangle i.e. the smaller one take base as 4.

As given that the both triangles have same angle and both are similar so:


\begin{gathered} \frac{Base\text{ from 1 triangle}}{\text{Base from 2 triangle}}=(8)/(4) \\ \frac{Base\text{ from 1 triangle}}{\text{Base from 2 triangle}}=2 \end{gathered}
