Problem
An angle is drawn on a set of equally spaced parallel lines as shown. The ratio of the area of shaded region 
to the area of shaded region 
is 11/5. Find the ratio of shaded region 
to the area of shaded region 
Solution
Apex of the angle is not on the parallel lines.
Let...
- The set of parallel lines be
- perpendicular to x-axis
- & cross x-axis at 0, 1, 2...
- Base of Region
be at 
; Lower base of Region 
at 
- One side of the angle be x-axis.
- The other side be
be at 
; Lower base of Region 
Then...
As area of triangle =.5 base x height...
By similar method, 
seems to be 408.
