The two square pyramids are similar. The side length of the smaller pyramid is the side length of the larger pyramid.
Which fraction represents the ratio of the base area of the smaller pyramid to the base area of the larger pyramid?

It looks like the numeric fraction for the side-lengths was left out. For similar figures the areas scale as the square of the linear scale factor. So if the smaller side = (a/b) × (larger side), then
ratio of base areas = (a/b)^2 = a^2 / b^2.
Examples: if the smaller side is 3/4 of the larger, the base-area ratio = (3/4)^2 = 9/16. If you tell me the missing fraction I’ll compute the exact answer.
