Fraction P6 2009 SA1 P2 RGS Q13

13a. The figure below is made up of unit squares. What fraction of the figure is shaded? [1]



1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6

½ x 2 x 1 = 1

1 + 6 = 7

5 x 4 = 20

7/20


13b. The figure below is not drawn to scale. Given that the area of WXYZ is 40 cm2, find the area of the shaded part. [3]



The two shaded triangles may be adjusted to form a big triangle (base 12 cm and height 18 cm) such that they do not overlap.
1/2  x 12 x 18 = 108

108 – 40 = 68 cm2


The area of the shaded part is 68 cm2.
