Maybe try cutting the shape into congruent triangles

is this the only way to get the answer? just seems too easy haha

5. anonymous

so it would be 1:3?

6. ganeshie8

lol you dont want things too easy, do you

7. ganeshie8

1:3 is right good job!

8. anonymous

it a question for an assigment that im having problems with, were supposed to show our work

9. ganeshie8

Explain how you arrived at the answer in full sentences and show some work too... I'm sure your teacher will be impressed

ok thank you:)

Something like this : The given shape is made up of four congruent triangles. Let $$a$$ = area of each triangle Then area of region $$i$$ is $$a$$ area of region $$ii$$ is $$3a$$ therefore ratio of areas = $$\frac{a}{3a} = \frac{1}{3}$$

Make sure you describe the method as much as you can
