Here is a `5`-by-`8` grid. Create a design so that there are `3` times as many unshaded squares as there are shaded squares.

x = number of shaded squares

3x = number of unshaded squares

This is because there are 3 times as many unshaded squares compared to shaded

unshaded = 3*(shaded)

Since there are 5*8 = 40 squares overall, this means,

shaded+unshaded = 40

x+3x = 40

4x = 40

x = 40/4

x = 10

There are 10 shaded squares and 3x = 3*10 = 30 unshaded squares.

So you'll shade in 10 squares in any fashion you prefer.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
