How to find the ratio of the smaller shaded area

To find the ratio of the smaller shaded area, you first need to determine the total area of the shaded region. This can be done by calculating the area of the entire shape (rectangle, circle, etc.) and then subtracting the area of the larger shaded region (if applicable).

Once you have the total area of the smaller shaded region, you can compare it to the total area of the entire shape to find the ratio. The ratio is typically expressed as a fraction, decimal, or percentage.

For example, if the smaller shaded area is 10 square units and the total area of the shape is 50 square units, the ratio of the smaller shaded area to the total area would be 10/50 = 1/5 = 0.2 = 20%.
