Answer:

To Decrease an amount in a given Ratio, we need to multiply by a fraction that is less than one. For example, in scaling down a recipe for four people into a recipe for 3 people, we would use the ratio of 3 : 4 which means we would multiply all our recipe amounts.

Which expressions represent the area of the entire shaded region, including the light and dark shading? select three options. 12

Alex Ar [27]

A triangle is a polygon. The total area of the figure can be represented by 12a, (6a+b), and 2b cm².

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a polygon with 3 sides and 3 vertices.

Since the area of a single triangle is a cm², and the shape is formed of 12 triangles, therefore, the area of the 12 triangles will be equal to,

$\text{Area of the complete figure} = 12 \times a = 12a\rm \ cm^2$

Given that the area of the complete dark portion is b cm², therefore, the area of the 6 triangles with a cm² of area each, and the black portion can be written as,

$\text{Area of the complete figure} = (6 \times a)+b = (6a+b)\rm \ cm^2$

As the dark portion also consists of 6 triangles with an area of a cm² each and the total sum of this dark area is b cm². Also, the light portion consists of 6 triangles with an area of a cm². Therefore, the total area can be written as,

$\text{Total area} = 6a+6a = b+b = 2b\rm\ cm^2$
