    4:9 ratio

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know that the sides cannot be the same because it is a rectangle, therefore there is a width and length.

    For the width, which is the shortest side, we will keep the radius as it is, that is, for rectangle 1 it will be 2 and for rectangle 2 it will be 3.

    For the length, which is the longest side, we multiply the radius by two, which means that rectangle 1 will be 4 (2 * 2) and for rectangle 2 it would be 6 (2 * 3)

    If we calculate the area it would be:

    rectangle 1:

    2 * 4 = 8

    rectangle 2:

    3 * 6 = 18

    Which means that the radius is 8/18 = 4/9

    What is a 4: 9 ratio
