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
Then...
As area of triangle =
By similar method, seems to be 408.
