“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

January 5, 2011 :) ratios!

                              Ratio 4:1
                                                                          
sides-
BD:16         XZ:4
CD:8           YZ:2

area- 128:8  simplified- 16:1

If you triple the sides the new lenths would be..
BD:48        XZ:12
CD:24        YZ:6
The new ratio would be 12:3
The new area would be 4:1

The effect if you decreasethe ratio of the areas is the ratio of the area is triple the ratio of the sides!
