Answer

The ratio of the perimeters 2:3 The ratio of the areas 4:9

Work Step by Step

Find the corresponding side ratio. $\frac{14}{21}$=$\frac{2}{3}$ The ratio of the perimeters is equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides. $\frac{2}{3}$=$\frac{2}{3}$. This can be written as 1:2 as well. The ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the ratio of corresponding sides. $\frac{2^{2}}{3^{2}}$=$\frac{4}{9}$. This can also be written as 1:4.
