15 The shaded part of the figure is the repeated identity. Make the shaded part of the figure the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Total area of the rectangle
= 2 x Total triangle
= 2 x 25 u
= 50 u
Percentage of Rectangle UVXW that is shaded
=
Shaded areaArea of Rectangle UVXW x 100%
=
550 x 100%
= 10%
Answer(s): 10%
