Proposition

In the words of Euclid:

But if in another sphere also a polyhedral solid be inscribed similar to the solid in the sphere $BCDE$, the polyhedral solid in the sphere $BCDE$ has to the polyhedral solid in the other sphere the ratio triplicate of that which the diameter of the sphere $BCDE$ has to the diameter of the other sphere.

(The Elements: Book $\text{XII}$: Proposition $17$ : Porism)
