9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is ...

  A = lw = (21)(12)

The area of the shaded triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh = 1/2(14)(12) = (7)(12)

Then the fraction of the rectangle that is shaded is ...

  (shaded area)/(rectangle area) = (7)(12)/((21)(12)) = 7/21 = 1/3

1/3 of the rectangle is shaded.
