Two Triangles in a Decagon Puzzle August 11, 2020 0 Comments What fraction of this regular decagon is shaded? SOLUTIONLet SSS be the area of the regular decagon.Connect points CCC and FFF. Since ABABAB, DEDEDE, and is parallel to CFCFCF from symmetry, we get that S(ABC)=S(ABO)=S(DEO)=S(DEF)=S/10S(ABC) = S(ABO) = S(DEO) = S(DEF) = S/10S(ABC)=S(ABO)=S(DEO)=S(DEF)=S/10.Therefore, 80%80\%80% of the total area is shaded.
