There are 20 triangles and 4 squares. What is the simplest ratio of squares to total shapes

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of squares = 4Number of triangles = 20

Total

Number of total shapes = 20 + 4 = 24

Ratio of squares to total shapes:

4/24 = 1/6

1:6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 20 triangles and four squares, so we know the first part of the ratio is 4. The total number of shapes is 24, so we get 4:24, and if we simplify, we then get 1:6.

I'm going to split this shape into 3, 2 triangles and a rectangle. To find the area of the rectangle, you would do 30 × 6 = 180ft. The triangle on the left would be 20 (26 - 6) × 20/2, so 400/2 = 200ft. The bottom triangle would be 6 × 6 (36 - 30)/2 = 36/2 = 18ft. When you add them all up (180 + 18 + 200) you get 398ft as your answer. I hope this helps!
