P5 ratio and area


D       C     B     A
              3  :  1
        3  :  2 
----------------------
30cm2   9u :  6u :  2u  <-- Hope u know why I had to do this
       / \   / \
      5u 4u 4u 2u 
Notice that B can be broken up into A and part of C 
And C can be broken up into D and part of B

5u --> 30 cm2
1u --> 30/5 = 6 (cm2)
WXYZ --> 30  + 17x6  =  132 (cm2)
Or WXYZ --> 22x6 = 132 (cm2)
