Question: 177
11. The ratio of the area of the shaded part to the unshaded part is
- A.
- B. 2:1
- C. 1:3
- D. 1:2
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is (D). The width of the shaded area is 
of the width of the square. Therefore, the area of the shaded part is 
the area of the whole square. The unshaded part is twice as large as the shaded part. The ratio of the shaded part to the unshaded, therefore, is 1:2.
