310 The shaded part of the figure is the repeated identity. Make the shaded part of the figure the same. LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.
Total area of the rectangle
= 2 x Total triangle
= 2 x 20 u
= 40 u
Percentage of Rectangle VWYX that is shaded
=
Shaded areaArea of Rectangle VWYX x 100%
=
640 x 100%
= 15%
Answer(s): 15%
