Answer:

6.25 %  of area of Large triangle =  area of smallest triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of large triangle L = (1/2)*base*height

L = (1/2)*(44 m)* h

L = 22*h  square m.

2nd equilateral triangle area:  S =(1/2)*(22 m)*(0.5h)

S = 5.5*h sq. m.

3rd smallest equilateral triangle area : T = (1/2)*(11 m)*(0.25h)

T = 1.375*h sq. m

-----

Find percent P  where  T = P* L,     1.375*h = P * 22*h

P = 6.25%  = 0.0625
