[tex]\bf \cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\

\cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{256}}{\sqrt{576}}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{16}{24}\implies \cfrac{s}{s}=\stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]
