Answer:

1/8 square unit.

Explanation:

Remark

The piece of information that is missing is is the middle line parallel to 2 of the sides. You have to assume it is, otherwise the question is impossible to do.

Givens

The height of the red triangle is 1/2 the top or bottom white triangle. That's because the diagonals and the horizontal line all meet in the middle.

The base of the red triangle is equal to 1/2 the length of the base.

Formula

Area red = 1/2 b * h

Solution

b = 1/2

h = 1/2

Area = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2

Area = 1/8
