Answer

The ratio of the perimeters 4:3 The ratio of the areas 16:9

Work Step by Step

Find the corresponding side ratio. $\frac{8}{6}$=$\frac{4}{3}$ The ratio of the perimeters is equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides. $\frac{4}{3}$=$\frac{4}{3}$. The ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the ratio of corresponding sides. $\frac{4^{2}}{3^{2}}$=$\frac{16}{9}$.
