The figure, not drawn to scale, is made up of 3 different triangles F, G and H. 15% of triangle F and 35% of triangle H is shaded. The shaded area of F is the same as the shaded area of H. What fraction of the figure is shaded if 25% of Triangle G is shaded?
Unshaded area of F |
Shaded area of F |
Unshaded area of H |
Shaded area of H |
17x7 |
3x7 |
13x3 |

14The shaded area of F is the same as the shaded area of H.
Make the LCM of the shaded area of F and shaded area of H the same.
LCM of 3 and 7 = 21
14 of G is shaded
= Shaded area of F + Shaded area of H
= 21 u + 21 u
= 42 u
Fraction of G that is unshaded
= 1 -
14 =
34 14 of G = 42 u
34 of G = 3 x 42 u = 126 u
Fraction of the figure that is shaded if 25% of Triangle G is shaded
=
42 + 42119 + 126 + 39 + 42 + 42 =
84368=
