Only if they both have the same ratio of length to width.

Since every square has the same ratio of length to width ( it's 1 ),

all squares are similar.

Gee, when you think about it, every regular polygon is similar to every other

regular polygon with the same number of sides. I never realized that.

I guess you mean the ratio of the areas; it depends if the 2 rectangles are "similar figures"; that is their matching sides are in the same ratio. If they are similar then the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of the sides.
