Answer:
(b) 3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the area of the large triangle be 1
The area of one smaller triangle out of the 4 is 1/4*1
= 1/4
So the area of the middle triangle of the larger one is 1/4..
This has been further divided into 4 triangles
The area of one such triangle is one quarter of 1/4
= 1/4 * 1/4
= 1/16
So we can infer that the area of one shaded triangle is 1/16
It asks for the area of all 3 shaded triangles
= 3 * 1/16
= 3/16
So the area of the large triangle that has been shaded is 3/16.
Hope it helps!
