Fraction of the Area of Shaded Shapes

The fraction of the area of the shaded square (rhombus) can be found by first:

  1. Divide the square into equal parts.
  2. Find the number of parts that is shaded.
  3. Determine the fraction of the shaded parts.

Thus, in the diagram attached below, the square has been divided into 16 parts. therefore:

Number of shaded area = 4

Total number of area of the square  16

Fraction of the area of the square that is shaded = 4/18 = 1/4.

Therefore, the fraction that represents the area of the shaded square is: 1/4.
