Two convex bodies are homothetic convex bodies if one is a translation of a positive uniform dilation of the other. Their lengths scale by s and their volumes by sn. Closed disks of positive radii are homothetic convex bodies; axis-aligned positive-sided rectangles are homothetic convex bodies exactly when their aspect ratios agree. The Brunn-Minkowski theorem characterizes this relation by equality of root-volumes in Minkowski addition.
