In the rectangle above, what is the ratio of (area of shaded region)/(area of unshaded region)

(A) 1:4
(B) 1:2
(C) 1:1
(D) 2:1
(E) 3:1

We can let the base of the unshaded triangle = the length of rectangle = n.

We can let the height of the unshaded triangle = width of the rectangle = h.

The area of the unshaded region is the area of the unshaded triangle, which is:

1/2 x n x h = nh/2

The area of the shaded region is the difference between the area of the rectangle and the area of the unshaded triangle:

nh - nh/2 = 2nh/2 - nh/2 = nh/2

So the ratio is 1 : 1.

Answer: C

Area of Unshaded region = \(\frac{1}{2}*l*b\)
Area of Rectangle = \(l*b\)
\(Ratio = (\frac{Total Area}{Area of Unshaded Region}) - 1\) = 1
