Question

What part of the following figure is shaded?

A. 1/4 B. 1/5 C. 1/8 D. 1/10

Answer 1

Hi there!

_______________________

It is given that, one of the part of the picture is shaded.

Now, to find the number of part of the picture shaded.

Step : 1

Count the total number of part, in the given figure.

That is ; there are total 4 right triangles in the picture.

Step : 2

Count the number of part shaded, in the picture.

That is ; there is 1 / 2 part shaded of one right triangle, in the picture.

$\bold{\underline {Answer ;}}$

To find the part of the picture shaded, devide the parts shaded by the total number of the parts of the figure.

⇒ 1 / 2 part of the single part / total number of right triangles.

⇒ 1 / 2 × 4

⇒ 1 / 8

Therefore, the final answer is 1 / 8.

Answer 2

Thanks for this interesting question

We are going to solve this problem in the simplest custom.

∵ Total parts in the given figure ⇒ 4  ...............(4 right triangles)

∵ Shaded part ⇒ 1/2 0f the Single Right Triangle

∴ Shaded part ⇒ $\frac{\frac{1}{2}\: of\: the\: single\: part}{Total\: parts\: in\: the\: given\: figure}$

⇒ $\frac{\frac{1}{2} * 1}{4}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2*4}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{8}$

Thus, the relevant answer for this query is 1/8.

Hope this clear your doubt.
