Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

The area of the rectangle is ...

A = lw = (21)(12)

The area of the shaded triangle is ...

A = 1/2bh = 1/2(14)(12) = (7)(12)

Then the fraction of the rectangle that is shaded is ...

(shaded area)/(rectangle area) = (7)(12)/((21)(12)) = 7/21 = 1/3

1/3 of the rectangle is shaded.
