In the rectangle shown below, the ratio of SA : AB : BQ = 3 : 2 : 5, CR is 3⁄4 of QC and PB = QB. QS is a straight line. Find the ratio of the shaded region to the area the rectangle PQRS.
Solution.
Let area of △SQR = 7 units
Area of △SCQ = 4 units
Area of △PSQ = 7 units
Area of △PAB = 2⁄10 x 7 units = 1.4 units
Shaded region = 4 units + 1.4 units = 5.4 units
Area of PQRS = 7 units + 7 units = 14 units
5.4 : 14
54 : 140
27 : 70
Answer: 27 : 70
