1. A regular tetrahedron whose altitude is 18 in., is cut by a plane parallel to its base, 12 in. from the base. Find the ratio of the volume of the tetrahedron cut off by the said plane to the volume of the original tetrahedron. Also, find the ratio of their base areas and the ratio of their base edges.
